Once again you access the world of knowledge and imagination a library houses. The Oil Region Library Association, which has branches in Oil City, Franklin and way out in Cooperstown, has opened back up.
It is again providing its wide array of services to walk-ins - though some restrictions will be in place. Masks and social distancing monitored and all staff must be masked. According to the ORLA website the staff will employ "excessive" cleaning measures being sure items and surfaces are sprayed down. Computers are spread out and returned items will be quarantined until they a sanitized. Curb-side pickup will continue for those who just don't want to go inside.
Hand and spray sanitizers are available inside as well.
​They are limiting individual use to 30 minutes to aid in social distancing and allow more people to access the library.

The Franklin Library will be going through some renovations and reorganization during their re-opening. A new carpet will be installed and the children's room will be moved into a larger area and the adult books section also relocated. "It's going to be a hodge-podge for awhile," said Terrie Grove, who has been with the library for five years. "But people are willing to work with us through it. I think they are just glad to be able to come again." 
Andy Wilks, a regular patron agrees with that statement. He said he is "very much" pleased to be able to return. "It's been almost four months," he said as he used one of the library's computers Monday.

For more information on hours at each branch as well as the programs being offered on-line or through pickup packets visit : https://oilregionlibraries.org/oilregionlibraries.org/
