Also, due to the state of Illinois’ resurgence mitigations going into effect for their region on Friday, Oct. 23, 2020, the Bartlett Public Library District has made various changes to services available to the public:

-Building capacity will go down to 25%

-Visits are encouraged to be 15 minutes or shorter; no extended stays.

-Study/Conference Rooms and Teen Space will be unavailable.

-Casual computers will be unavailable, but there will be three 15-minute computers available for quick tasks only.

These changes will be in effect for a minimum of 14 days, possibly longer due to mitigation requirements set out by the state. The Library will notify the public either way.

Even though hours and services are changing, the Library continues to ask that visitors wear face coverings and maintain social distancing.
