Do not: Enter the library, hoard test kits, call to reserve test kits, ask staff to assist with testing, or ask staff for medical advice.
Do: Park in a curbside pickup parking spot, call when you arrive (Coshocton – 740-622-0956 or WestLafayette – 740-545-6672), and tell staff how many test kits are needed. One kit per member of your household is available.
Stop the spread of COVID by: Maintain safe distancing; Consider wearing masks indoors; Stay home if you have any signs or symptoms of COVID-19; Wash your hands frequently and use hand sanitizer; Regularly disinfect high touch surfaces; and Consider testing (even if no symptoms) before attending family/community events (fairs, concerts, etc.).
