Special Announcements
The Butler Public Library has protocols in place to ensure we keep our staff and patrons safe.
​Below is a list of ways we are keeping our community safe.
  • The number of public computers will be reduced to allow for the recommended social distancing and will be given one hour daily limits of internet access per user.
  • Computer keyboards will be covered with plastic seals and changed after each user. Likewise computer mice, chairs and desk areas will be disinfected after each user.
  • The circulation desk area is being reorganized for maximum safety to library staff and patrons with regards to social distancing.
  • Library staff will be wearing masks at all times throughout the day. Masks are mandatory for Patrons. One can be provided upon request.
  • Common areas throughout the library will be sanitized several times throughout each day.
  • Dropbox is open for all returns.
