The Pella Public Library has announced that the building will again be open for public services beginning Monday.

The following restrictions will be in effect:
-Library hours are 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM, Monday through Friday. The library is currently closed on weekends.
-A maximum of 40 people, including library staff, will be allowed in the building at one time.
-Many of the seating areas will have been modified or removed. This is to encourage the “browse and go” model so that all community members may also use the library.
-Out of consideration of patrons’ health and safety, the staff will be wearing masks and gloves.
-Staff will be behind Plexiglas shields when interacting with patrons. This is for your protection. We ask that you respect the shield and do not try to reach or talk around it.
-Please respect all lines, queues, ropes, etc., which are in place to guide you throughout the building.
-Please maintain a 6-foot distance between unrelated persons.
-To help protect the health and safety of all, visitors are asked to wear a face covering while in the library building.

Some parts of the building, including the Heritage Room and the Book Nook, will be temporarily closed. Those who would like to request materials from a closed location should notify library staff. Copying and printing services are available but will be handled at the front desk to minimize shared touch points. Curbside pickup service will continue for the time being as well. Contact the library at 641-628-4268 for more information.
