Staying Safe Together

Thank you for your continued patience during the COVID-19 pandemic!

  • Face masks are not required to enter the bookmobile. However, masks are strongly encouraged and appreciated to protect children and others who are unable to be vaccinated. In lieu of large classroom visits, teachers and/or classroom ambassadors should visit the bookmobile in small groups.

  • These guidelines are subject to change at any time.
