FAQ 

What measures has the library taken to ensure safety? 

• The library has enhanced its regular cleaning regimen and has adopted quarterly electrostatic disinfection.  Staff members frequently clean touched surfaces, wear masks and gloves, and practice social distancing.  All computer areas and bathrooms will be regularly disinfected.  Computer keyboards are covered in plastic, which will be changed after each use.

Why do I have to wear a mask if I’m outside?

• The Governor’s order requires the use of masks in public places.  Our outdoor areas are included in that condition.  The library is beginning to plan in-person programs for our outdoor spaces.  In order for us to do this safely, we must ask everyone to wear a mask to protect each other.    

I have a medical condition that prohibits me from wearing a mask.  Can I still come in to the library and attend outdoor programs without one?

• If you are unable to wear a mask, you will not be permitted to enter the library or to be on library property.  Please call the library so that we can determine the best way to help you. 

When will the library open completely?

• We don’t know. We will be acting with guidance from the Delaware Division of Libraries, Sussex County Department of Libraries, and the Selbyville Public Library Board of Commissioners as we continue to move forward.
