Service was great while they were closed. I could go online and reserve material. They'd send an email when the stuff was ready for pickup. You'd schedule a time to pick things up, text them when you arrived. They're text back and have you drive to a spot and they'd bring the stuff out.
I also discovered I like downloading ebooks to my phone to read. Always thought I'd hate ebooks. I love holding a "real" book and turning the pages. Turns out I like being able to access my book anywhere. Still prefer paper books, but it's a nice alternative.
Staff at the library is still taking lots of steps to keep people safe. They take your temp at the door and ask some simple questions checking to see if you might have been exposed. You're limited to being inside for an hour. They limit the number of people inside. They have reshelving carts parked all over the place. They ask if you take a book off the shelf that you leave on a cart so they can resolve it. I saw a librarian wiping down books on the carts before reshelving them.
Lord gawd Billy Bob it felt soooooo good to walk the stacks looking for something to read. I found new books by THREE authors I really like. I feel so rich tonight!
