We added a podium and a stool to our entry way. We have handmade masks available for those who do not have one and we placed them on the entry way bench because it is handy. There is a large sign outside the front door indicating the new rules.</div>

<div>
<div dir="ltr">Good morning! This question is for any library that has already reopened to the public, or is planning to soon:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Do you have a "welcome" station for patrons when they first arrive in which they can get a rundown of new procedures, be provided a mask if they need one, etc.? If so, could you share a photo with me or provide a description of what it will be like?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance!</div>
