update to COVID procedures at Hepburn Library of Norfolk
At The July 21st, 2021 Board of Trustees meeting it was voted that the Hepburn Library of Norfolk would modify it’s COVID procedures, policies guidelines and operations to match that of current CDC guidance. Summed up, that means that vaccinated visitors to the library no longer need to wear masks. We ask that those who are unvaccinated continue to follow the CDC guidance and continue to wear masks while visiting the library. We have masks available in the upstairs entry vestibule of the library of unvaccinated adults and children (and for anyone who wishes to wear one)
To read the latest policies from the Board of Trustees:
