Alachua County Library District offering computer, copier use by appointment starting July 20

Contact: Rachel Cook

The Alachua County Library District will offer computer and copier use by appointment only at all branches starting Monday, July 20. Patrons will be required to complete a health screening, wear a face covering, and maintain six feet of distance from staff members and other patrons.

One-hour computer appointments will be available at 10 a.m., 2 p.m., and 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday at all branches. Fifteen-minute copier appointments are available from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Patrons can make appointments for the current day and the next business day by calling a branch. Patrons can make one appointment per day districtwide.

Due to social distancing recommendations, we are not able to offer one-on-one computer assistance. Food and beverages are not allowed in the buildings. The copiers and printers accept silver change and $1 or $5 bills; staff members are not able to provide change.

Browsing is currently not allowed, but patrons can pick up their holds as they leave their appointment. Patrons who do not follow the Code of Conduct, including not wearing a face covering or failing to practice social distancing, will be told to leave immediately. Library staff members will sanitize computer stations and copier areas, and high traffic areas between appointments.
