A Lanai Public and School Library employee on Monday tested positive for COVID-19, prompting the state to conduct a thorough cleaning of the building.
The library was closed for cleaning Monday and will reopen today, the Hawaii State Public Library System said.
All public library staff are required to wear their masks, practice social distancing and follow proper hand sanitizing practices. High-touch areas are disinfected as recommended by federal and state guidance. Face masks continue to be required while inside public libraries.
"Since reopening public services in May 2020, all of our public library employees have worked hard to protect themselves, their co-workers and their communities from exposure to this terrible virus," State Librarian Stacey Aldrich said in a news release. "Nevertheless, this is an important reminder for all of us to remain vigilant by wearing masks, social distancing and following recommended safety protocols such as getting vaccinated, to protect our families, our co-workers and our community."
