Argenta- Oreana Public Library District issued the following announcement on Jan. 04.
Since reopening our book returns, we have been quarantining items for several days to ensure that the items are COVID-free before we handle them and return them to our shelves for others to use. As many of you are aware, this means that items remain on your account for several days after you return them and it has also led to long wait times for items you’ve requested.
Please pay attention to due dates for items checked out. Staff will be happy to print a receipt for you at the time of check out. Due to the necessary 3-day quarantine of returned items, patrons will not be penalized for the time an item spends in quarantine. Returned materials will be back-dated to ensure no fines will be charged during those 3 days.
Thank you for your continuing support!
