Please see information below about updates to Downingtown Library policy, and please help us remain open by complying with all the library visit requirements! Thank you all so much for your patience as we’ve weathered this difficult year. We look forward to seeing you in person!

- LIBRARY HOURS UPDATE: The library will be closed on Sundays.
- COVID-19: Do not enter the library if you have symptoms associated with COVID-19, have tested positive for COVID-19 and are in the isolation period, are waiting on a COVID-19 test, or have come in contact with someone with COVID-19 and have been told to quarantine.
- COMPUTERS: 3 socially-distanced public computers are available on a first come/first serve basis for a 60 minute session maximum, once per day per patron. No extensions are available due to fewer numbers of computers available. Very limited computer help is available as staff need to remain socially-distant from patrons. Patrons are encouraged to bring a helper if they need one.
- BROWSING: Browsing of the entire library collection is available. Please keep your visit as brief as possible to allow as many patrons to visit the library as possible throughout the day. Please wait to enter the library or vacate the library if needed to honor occupancy limits when directed by staff.
- MASKS and SOCIAL DISTANCING: The Downingtown Library COVID Policy requests that all unvaccinated patrons and staff wear a face-mask over their mouth and nose for the duration of their visit to the library. You may go without a mask if you are 2 weeks past your COVID-19 vaccine. (Downingtown Library COVID-19 Policy)
