The Green Hills Public Library District conducts its operation with the highest regard for the health and safety of its employees and the public. We have been continuing to monitor COVID-19 updates from public health authorities. This page contains information about the Library’s current service offerings.
Key Information You Need to Know Before You Visit the Library:

Face masks will be required to enter the Library, regardless of vaccination status. Reasonable accommodations are available to individuals who are medically prevented from wearing a face covering. This mask mandate does not apply to outdoors, however Library policy requires face masks to be worn by all patrons in Youth Services programs, including those that are outdoors, regardless of COVID-19 vaccination status.
