With new cases of COVID-19 in Dunn County dropping to levels we haven’t seen since last summer, and following guidance from the Department of Health, the Board of Trustees has decided to reopen the building with restrictions beginning April 5. The health and safety of the community, visitors, and staff is still paramount so the reopening will be gradual and cautious. We will keep a close eye on COVID-19 case numbers in Dunn County and listen to advice from the Dunn County Health Department as we slowly phase in additional services. Many restrictions remain in place:
- Open hours will be Monday-Friday 10 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.
- Building occupancy capacity is limited to 25.
- Face masks are required. See mask policy.
- 6 ft. social distancing while in the library will be maintained.
- No in-person programming inside the building will be offered.
- The large meeting room is closed for use while we are staging curbside pickup. The small group meeting room will be available during open hours.
- Returns are only accepted through the exterior return and returned items are quarantined for twenty-four hours before check-in.
- Curbside pickup is available Monday-Friday 10 am-6 pm. Call 715-232-2164 to schedule.
- Elk Mound Branch will reopen with the following hours
- Monday 10am-4pm

The library staff appreciates the cooperation with the restrictions that our visitors have shown. It really helps us do our jobs, so thank you. We can do this together.
Huge thank you to all of you,I am sure we all know the hassle you have gone thru with new methods to make it so easy for the public to keep reading!

Thank you so much for doing your best to keep people reading and able to use the library during the covid situation!
Thank you for reopening! Please put limitations on eating and drinking while at the library so masks can be maintained.
Curbside pickup and your wonderful staff were so helpful during the pandemic. I don’t think I’ve ever read so much for pleasure! Thank you for practicing safety measures!
Weekend hours could be added as many people are unable to go to the library during the week. One of life’s great enjoyments is spending time at a library.
Fred Rogers talks about looking for the helpers in the middle of a crisis. I sure am grateful for all the librarians that kept library materials available during the worst of this pandemic! Thank you for being the “helpers.”
