The library closed March 13th following the announcement by FISD that their campuses were
closing. The library staff began inventory, removing/fixing damaged items, future planning, and starting
disinfecting following federal protocols. Materials were quarantined for 14 days before going back on
the shelf. Staff wearing masks and gloves. Virtual programming started March 14th to keep some
services available for patrons.
Mango, a language learning database, was added for patrons to utilize.
Memberships have been renewed and items that were overdue were removed so that patrons didn't have
to worry about their accounts while the library was closed and Prosper was under stay at home orders.
May 19th the library started to -go service. Patrons place items on hold, library staff pulls the items and
checks them out for you, you pickup on tables inside the library doors. This was a huge success.
Scott gave a summer programming update. Vendors have been canceled for programs and came up with
alternative plans to go with a summer packet. Prosper residents can sign up for a summer reading.
