Face Mask Policy:  To continue serving our community during this difficult time of a worldwide pandemic, the Chillicothe and Ross County Library Board of Trustees has adopted the following temporary safety policy:

• MASKS REQUIRED—Library staff have the authority to enforce the wearing of facial coverings while visiting the library.
• In accordance with the Patron Code of Conduct, disobeying the direction of a library staff member and/or remaining on library property when requested to leave can result in a suspension of library services.
• Concerns about this policy should be directed to the library director.
• Thank you for honoring these measures, which are designed to keep our community safe, while allowing access to the library.

Masks will be provided at the door if you need one.

State and county health directives require that you keep at least 6 feet of physical distance between yourself and other patrons and library staff.

Children age 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult to enter the library.
