Along with many others, the Ridgefield Library is preparing to minimize risks to its patrons and staff from the anticipated onset of H1N1 virus, or swine flu.
First and foremost, if anyone in your family shows symptoms that resemble those associated with swine flu – stay home! Renew items you have out online or by phone; call to let us know you won’t be coming to storytime. As with any illness, if you are too sick to go to work or school, you are too sick to come to the Library.
Exercise sensible precautions when handling library materials or computers. Have your child wash his or her hands after using a “games” computer, or take advantage of one of the dispensers of sanitizing gel located throughout the building. Use a sanitizing wipe to clean off computer keyboards or tabletops before use. Our maintenance staff works hard to make sure the Library is thoroughly cleaned each morning, but with more than 1,200 people coming through the doors each day, we can’t keep up with the continuous activity.
