News Release - Clearview Public Library Branches Reopening April 7th

On Wednesday, April 7th, residents will be welcomed back inside all branches of the Clearview Public Library. Normal hours of operation will resume, with hours at the Stayner and Creemore Branches being extended to 9:00 pm Wednesday to Friday, and a lunchtime closure Fridays between 1:00 and 2:00 pm at the Creemore Branch. Curbside service will continue to be offered.

Before entering a library branch, a paper self-assessment form must be completed and deposited into the provided collection bin. Face masks are mandatory and capacity limits are in place. Traffic will continue to be regulated by directional and physical distancing floor stickers and posters. 

Increased cleaning protocols will continue, including: 

• A quarantine period of five days for returned materials.
• Cleaning of public computer mice and keyboards after each use.
• Nightly professional cleaning of public washrooms, and sanitization of high-touch surfaces throughout the day.
• Bins have been provided at the end of each aisle for used materials.  

Library visits remain limited to one hour per day and public computer use to half-an-hour per day. Printing and faxing will be available with exact change.
