Library Policies/Procedures

All visitors to the library are recommended to wear a face mask and maintain social distancing, while inside the library. This is in accordance with the CDC recommendations and will remain in effect until further notice.

If you are a vulnerable member of the community who is unable to enter the library, please call ahead and we will be happy to assist you via curbside service.

Knox Public Library will be monitoring local COVID-19 rates. All information on this page is subject to change in response to those numbers.
