Downers Grove Public Library Set To Reopen Feb. 1
The library's reopening comes with safety measures, including a requirement that all visitors wear face masks.
DOWNERS GROVE, IL — The Downers Grove Public Library is set to reopen Feb. 1. The library had been closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, but the reopening comes as DuPage County moves back to tier 2 mitigation plans.
When the library reopens, visitors will be required to wear a mask that covers their nose and mouth and will be limited to a one-hour stay. The Forest Avenue entrance will be the only entrance open at the library until around Feb. 15, according to a news release.
Curbside service will still be available via the Curtiss Street entrance.
