ATHS will be reopening the library on April 7 2021 for visitors. No more than 3 visitors per group will be allowed in the museum, with a total of ten at any one time. Social distancing will allow only 3 persons in the library at a time to include the library volunteer.  We will require library visitors to make an appointment to do genealogical and historical research.  Please email: [email protected] or [email protected] to reserve a two hour slot of time. These measures are for your safety as well as for ours.
     Volunteers and visitors will be required to wear face masks.  Frequent hand washing and sanitizing measures are required. Face masks will be given to those without one. Frequently touched surfaces will be sanitized frequently. Visitors’ work spaces will be sanitized after each use.  Library materials will be quarantined after use for 24 hours at the least. Please do not come if you are feeling ill or have a temperature over 99 degrees.
