COVID-19 exposure forces Sayville Library to close until December

|

The Sayville Library is shut down until after the long Thanksgiving Day weekend “due to a COVID-19 exposure,” the library reports.

A Facebook post on the Sayville Library page states, “Out of an abundance of caution, the Library will be closed” through Monday, Nov. 30. It will reopen on Tuesday, Dec. 1, the post says.

The post notes that risk of exposure to patrons is minimal because of the library’s strict safety protocols. During the closure, the library will be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized.

COVID-19’s cloud over the area has been evident with an uptick in cases and hospitalizations, temporary closures of restaurants and rumored future closings of schools.

On Sunday, people looking to be tested for COVID-19 stood in long lines outside urgent care centers across Suffolk County.

The line outside CITY MD in Sayville for COVID-19 tests.

Patrons who signed up for grab and go crafts at the library will be contacted by a librarian.

The library advises that patrons should visit our the library website at sayvillelibrary.org to utilize its online services and learn about its virtual programs.

“We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and ask that you please continue to follow all safety precautions against COVID-19 in your daily life,” the library says in its Facebook post.
