Marathon County Public Library to reopen June 1
For the Wausau Times
WAUSAU – All nine Marathon County Public Library (MCPL) locations will reopen to the public on June 1.
In June, all MCPL locations will also return to their pre-pandemic hours of operation, which include a mixture of daytime and evening hours, Monday-Saturday.
Drive-through service will continue to be offered in Wausau and Marathon City, and limited curbside pick-up hours will be offered in Athens, Edgar, Hatley, Mosinee, Rothschild, Spencer, and Stratford. Curbside pickup hours vary by location.
“MCPL is committed to following safe health practices for its patrons and staff. In accordance with Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines, patrons who have not been fully vaccinated are asked to wear a face mask when visiting the library, and a distance of six feet between individuals is still advised. An occupancy limit of 25 percent will also be in place at each location until further notice,” a MCPL release stated.
“For the time being, library events will consist of virtual
programs and Grab & Go activities, as well as a select number of outdoor,
in-person events. Meeting rooms and study rooms will also be restricted upon
reopening.”
