As outlined in our Business Reopening Safety Plan, because the Saratoga County 14-day average Covid-19 positivity rate has been higher than 8% for 10 consecutive days, the Library building will be closed to the public beginning Monday, January 11, 2021, and programs and services will be delivered remotely and virtually.
As Covid-19 positivity rates rapidly climb in Saratoga County, in-library browsing will be temporarily suspended beginning January 4, and other service changes may be imminent, according to the Library's Business Reopening Safety Plan.

Because our current health crisis is disproportionately affecting People of Color and working poor people, and given our present national reckoning with systemic racism, implicit biases, and unearned privileges, we are recommitting to fostering racial justice, socioeconomic inclusion, and human dignity by committing to undertake a review of policies, procedures, and practices in order to identify and eliminate barriers to service. Library Director, Ike Pulver, announces the first policy updates resulting from this process.
