The Morrill Public Library in Hiawatha is set to re-open to the public Thursday, April 1.
The Library staff and trustees said the timing of the global pandemic and their latest renovation complicated their reopening schedule, but they are excited to see new and returning patrons in-person again.
The library will be open normal hours, but closed on Sundays.
Safety guidelines will be in place. All persons entering the library will be required to wear a face mask at all times and maintain social distancing. A disposable face mask will be provided free of charge to individuals who do not have a face mask.
As part of the renovation project, new HVAC units were installed, both restrooms were completely updated, a new small meeting room was added downstairs and the existing large meeting room was upgraded.
In addition, a new study room was constructed upstairs, four new computer stations were added, along with two new self-checkout kiosks and new circulation desks.
