SML HOSSTON BRANCH CLOSED THROUGH JULY 9

The Hosston Branch of Shreve Memorial Library, located at 15478 US Hwy 71 in Hosston, is closed after an employee was exposed to someone who tested positive for COVID-19. The branch will be closed through July 9, with plans to reopen on Friday, July 10. The branch may open sooner if COVID-19 test results come back negative for the employee in question.

“Out of an abundance of caution, we are closing the branch immediately to make sure that the branch is cleaned thoroughly,” stated John Tuggle, Shreve Memorial Library Executive Director. “We want to make sure that we are being proactive and taking all necessary steps to prevent further spread.”

During the closure, the branch will be cleaned and disinfected according to Centers for Disease Control (CDC) guidelines. While the branch is closed, patrons are still able to return checked out items via the branch book drop. However, curbside pickup service will not be available.
