Plano Community Library representatives are excited to welcome everyone back into the building! Because COVID-19 is still impacting our daily lives, and we must follow standards from the State of Illinois for our reopening, the Library is going to look a little different. Here’s what you can expect. Please note that public computers are not available at this time.
New requirements:
In order to help protect our patrons and staff members, we ask that you please adhere to the following requirements when visiting our building.

• Wash your hands often, or use hand sanitizer often.
• Wipe down equipment with disinfecting wipes before use.
• No food or drink allowed inside the Library.
