Robey Memorial Library in Waukon is now opened back up to the public at its regular hours as of June 1, with some service limitations. Library policies and procedures have been amended to prioritize public safety.

Social distancing is encouraged; hand sanitizer is provided throughout the library. Face masks are available. Surfaces and returned books are sanitized. Minors age eight and under must be accompanied by an adult. Curbside service will continue for the convenience of patrons.

The library is open for browsing, check-outs and inter-library loan requests. Public computers are available for use by individuals for up to two hours per day; computers can be reserved up to 24 hours in advance. Printing, copying, scanning and faxing services have also resumed. Library staff encourages use of the library’s wireless printing service; patrons are encouraged to ask for details.

Study rooms are unavailable at this time. The community room is available for one use per day. Reservation requests for that room will be determined on a first-come, first-served basis.

Robey Memorial Library will have no in-library programming at this time. The annual summer reading program will return in a modified form. Service restrictions will be re-evaluated by the Robey Memorial Library Board at its August 11 meeting, which will be open to the public.
