The Kalona Public Library is shutting back down temporarily.
Library Director Trevor Sherping issued a statement Friday announcing that the library closed on June 5 and will remain closed through June 12.
“This past Wednesday evening, June 4, library administration received notice that a COVID-19 positive individual came into contact with library staff,” Sherping said in his statement. “On June 5, the library closed to evaluate the situation and communicate with Washington County Public Health.
“It has since been confirmed that beyond the few staff member who were present during the exposure, nor further transmission to the public occurred.”
He added that all library staff members have been instructed to self-isolate, meaning the library will be closed through June 12.
The library will offer no services, including curbside check-out, during the closure.
During that time, Sherping said, the library will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized before resuming operations on June 15.
“Please understand that our reopening date of June 15 may be pushed back should Washington County Public Health deem it necessary,” Sherping said.
