Derby Neck Library to restart curbside service Saturday, reopen to public Feb. 2

Good afternoon,
I wanted to post an update about our closing yesterday after we received notice of a possible [COVID-19] exposure at the library.
After speaking with the Naugatuck Valley Health District and after the precautions we took, it was concluded that we went above and beyond what was necessary and that no contact tracing was warranted, nor any further action required.
Although shutting down was not necessary by CDC standards, what we did was out of an abundance of caution and applauded. We did this to keep our staff and our community safe.
Ever since the pandemic began, we have worked hard on developing and implementing protocols to help ensure just that. As such, we have been given clearance to reopen at our discretion.
Our plan moving forward is to restart our curbside pickup service beginning this Saturday, January 23 at 1 p.m.
On February 2, we will begin allowing the public back into the building for browsing and computer use starting at noon. During this downtime, we will continue our deep clean of the facility.
We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any inconvenience caused. We look forward to serving you again very soon.

Be safe and be well,
Ian Parsells
Head Librarian
Derby Neck Library
