Community Library Network shifting back to curbside-only
CRAIG NORTHRUP | Hagadone News Network | UPDATED 4 years, 6 months AGO
All Community Library Network libraries are going to self-service curbside and will only allow public entry for one-hour computer appointments, the network announced Friday.
All libraries will operate during normal hours, except Post Falls, which is closed until at least Tuesday for thorough cleaning. Upon reopening, Post Falls will offer the same curbside and computer usage services as the other Network Libraries.
In addition to Post Falls, the libraries that will temporarily close to in-person patrons are Athol, Harrison, Hayden, Pinehurst, Rathdrum, Spirit Lake and the Bookmobile. The Coeur d'Alene Public Library is also closed to public foot traffic and is only offering curbside service.
Self-service curbside pickup is managed by placing holds online or by calling a librarian. While visiting libraries to use computers, members must wear masks and social distance.
