Cleaning and Public Health
All staff working library computers receive training and the personal protective equipment necessary to keep themselves, other staff, and the public safe. All employees wear face coverings and practice social distancing according to City of Madison policy and Dane County Public Health Guidelines.
With every computer reservation, a 30-minute gap is also reserved so that staff can properly clean and sanitize computer stations.
