GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Leaders say the July 6 reopening date at Kent District Library has been delayed due to increased risk of COVID-19,
KDL says reopening will depend on improvement of the virus situation and as of now, a new reopening date for the facility has not yet been determined.
Lance Werner, executive director of KDL, said in a statement, “Although Kent County is in a better situation than many other areas, we are committed to helping to create a sustained improvement. Right now, the trend needs to be turned around,”
Werner's statement emphasized that the reopening delay does not impact curbside pickups, exterior drop box returns, livestream programs and digital resources, which were implemented to serve the community while limiting virus exposure.
They also said 700 new Wi-Fi hot spots have been added for homes needing internet access.
