New mask wearing guidelines (effective 5/19/21):

Under the guidance of the CDC, NYS Governor and County Legislature, OFL has adopted the new CDC guidance on mask use and social distancing at this time. Unvaccinated individuals, under both CDC and state guidance, must wear masks within our building. Although mask wearing for vaccinated people is not required, we encourage everyone inside the library to wear a mask out of consideration for all our library visitors. We appreciate our visitors responsible and respectful cooperation with this revised policy, as some of our library visitors have not had access to the vaccine, are not yet fully vaccinated or have a compromised health issue.

By visiting the library, you are agreeing to adhere to the following guidelines:

  • All unvaccinated people over 2 years old must were a mask at all times inside the library.
  • 6 ft. social distancing must be maintained with anyone outside your party.
  • No consumption of food or drink inside the library.
  • You can say NO to the following questions:
      1. Do you currently have any of the following symptoms?
        •Fever (above 100 degrees) or chills
        •Cough
        •Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
        •Fatigue
        •Muscle or body aches
        •Headache
        •New loss of taste or smell
        •Sore throat
        •Congestion or runny nose
        •Nausea or vomiting
        •Diarrhea
      2. In the past 14 days, have you tested positive for COVID-19?
      3. In the past 14 days, have you had close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19?

*If you answer yes to any of the questions listed above, we ask that you do not visit the library.
