CONWAY — The Conway Public Library building will be reopening later this month with several safety changes in place, said Library Director David Smolen. The library shut its doors months ago to prevent the spread of COVID-19, but with Gov. Chris Sununu recently lifting his stay-at-home order, Conway library trustees Monday unanimously voted to reopen the building to the public as of June 29.
There will be new social distancing procedures in place to keep everyone safe, Smolen said. That includes removing and rearranging furniture; setting up self-checkout stations; and allowing patrons to take Chromebooks outside to use the internet. No more than 15 patrons can be in the building at one time.
