The Library’s busy virtual program schedule with both live and recorded events also continues. The book drop is open. And outside of the Library, the wifi is extremely strong.
The Library’s Board of Directors’ are using the guidance: Daily Data Report provided by the State of Connecticut that puts Kent in “red.” Kent’s cases have doubled in the past week. Once the town goes back to orange or yellow KML will reevaluate opening the building to patrons and reinstating the appointment system.
