Tuesday morning, during the weekly “Coffee and Conversation” live video on Facebook, Young Adult Services Librarian Braelyn Dempsey announced that the public would be allowed inside the Algoma branch starting Monday. Dempsey says that several policies put in place over the past three months will remain.

There is a capacity limit, set at ten people in addition to the staff on hand. Some form of face covering will be required, as well. Loitering near the entrance and extended visits are also forbidden. Plus, the interlibrary loan system is still frozen, so only selections that are the property of the Algoma Public Library will be available.
