OSHKOSH (NBC 26) -- Oshkosh Public Library is temporarily suspending curbside pickup of library materials, after a staff member tested positive for COVID-19.
The library said all staff who had contact with the employee who tested positive are being quarantined for 14 days, as recommended by the CDC.
"Because the procedures for contactless curbside pickup were developed using CDC guidelines and were reviewed by the Winnebago County Health Department prior to implementation, it is unlikely that library patrons experienced exposure that would put them at risk," the library said in a statement.
The library will not accept returns of library materials at this time and the drop boxes outside the library on Mount Vernon Street will be temporarily closed. The library building is being sanitized.
Due dates for all materials have been extended to June 25. Holds placed on library materials will not be filled until further notice.
"We will continue to follow the recommendations of the CDC and the Winnebago County Health Department and will resume curbside services when it is safe for the public and library staff," the library stated Wednesday.
The library remains closed to the public.
