Amid the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, librarians will follow the CDC and public health guidelines of social distancing. All who visit are “strongly encouraged” to wear a mask. Public computers will be available by reservation, up to one hour per day per patron. Materials are still being quarantined.

Curbside service will also continue. Call the libraries to make arrangements, in Powell at 307-754-8828, in Cody at 307-527-1880 or in Meeteetse call at 307-868-2248.

However, “we won’t have meeting room space in Powell until we stop quarantining items and storing furniture,” Powell Library Manager Faith Johnson said. The Powell facility’s Fireside Room is not considered a separate space.
