TRL responds to Swine Flu Virus

Staff members are taking precautions to protect library workers and patrons from becoming infected with the H1N1 Swine Flu Virus by promoting respiratory hygiene/cough etiquette, providing hand sanitizers and hand-washing facilities, wiping down surfaces regularly and encouraging sick people to stay home.

TRL will determine whether libraries close to the public, working closely with public health officials and basing decisions on the extent and severity of the pandemic.

Please take full advantage of library resources and the links below to be informed on the subject. Health authorities encourage people to obtain both the seasonal flu shot available now and the H1N1 Swine Flu vaccine when it becomes available.
