Masks Required

Posted 3 days Jen Adult services, Events, Features, Kids at the Library, Library Services, News, Support, Uncategorized

At this time we are requiring that ALL individuals over the age of 2 wear a mask when entering the library.

Effective August 2, 2021 masks are once again required of all people in all public and shared areas inside the library building, regardless of vaccination status, as recommended by the CDC.

This change is due to the increased transmission throughout our community of COVID-19, and to protect the safety of all who use our library buildings. On July 27, 2021, the CDC issued new recommendations everyone, even those fully vaccinated, wear a mask in public indoor settings in areas of substantial or high transmission. Saratoga county reached the threshold of substantial transmission on July 29, 2021.

We thank you for respecting our safety procedures and your continued support of our library.

Posted 1 year Jen Adult services, Community, Crafts, Events, Explore, News, Support, Uncategorized

Want to make a fabric face mask?

Check out a these video or photo tutorials, or see our basic sewing instructions below.

Help protect yourself and others when you have to go out in public.

How to Make a Mask

What you will need:

Cotton Fabric, any color or print
Rope elastic, beading cord elastic will work (you may also use 1/8” flat elastic)
Cut the elastic 7” long and tie a knot at each end (DO NOT knot the ends of the flat)

You can Make Two Sizes: Adult or Child

Put right side of cotton fabric together. Cut 2 9×6 inch (adult) or 7.5×5 inch (child) pieces.
Starting at the center of the bottom edge, sew to the first corner, stop. Sew the elastic with the edge out into the corner. A few stiches forward and back will hold this.
Sew to the next corner, stop, and bring the other end of the same elastic to the corner and sew few stiches forward and back.
Now sew across that top of the mask to the next corner. Again put an elastic with the edge out.
Sew to the next corner and sew in the other end of the same elastic.
Sew across the bottom leaving about 1.5” to 2” open. Stop, cut the thread. Turn inside out.
Pin 3 tucks on each side of the mask. Make sure the tucks are the same direction.
Sew around the edge of the mask twice.
