COMFORT PUBLIC LIBRARY IS OPEN!
We’re thrilled to announce that the Comfort Public Library is back in business! But in order to keep you safe, we’ve instituted some measures for your protection.
• All returned books are being kept in “quarantine” for four days per CDC guidelines. So even if you’ve reserved a book, it might be up to a week before it can be checked out.
• Hand sanitizer must be used upon entry; there is a station set up at the door.
• Masks are encouraged.
• Eight computers are now available for use, six in the Tech room and two upstairs.
• All children must be supervised by a parent or guardian at all times within the library.

o Tuesday 11:00 - 6:00 pm
o Wednesday 11:00 - 7:00 pm
o Thursday 11:00 - 6:00 pm
o Friday 11:00 - 6:00 pm (Wee Friday at 10:30)
