The Gilpin County Stay at Home order expires on May 8, 2020.  We have been working on phases to open back up to the public.  Phase One was allowing for Pick-Up Service.  Phase Two will be opening the public computers for reservations starting on Friday, May 22, 2020.   Reservations can be made for a 1 hour block starting at either 10:00 AM, 11:30 AM, or 1:00 PM, Mon, Tue, Wed & Friday or Thursdays at 2:00 PM, 3:30 PM, 5:00 PM.
​ 
To ensure we opening in a safe manner, and following executive orders, the following protocols are being implemented.   Please read carefully so you are prepared when arriving at the Library and we can best serve you.

  • Starting Mon, May 11, at 10:00 AM, schedule a reservation by calling (303) 569-9951 between the hours of 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM.  If you have access to email you may request a reservation by contacting us at gilpinlib@gilpincounty.org.  NO reservation is confirmed until you are contacted by a staff member. 
 
  • Reservations can be made up to one week in advance.  Reservations are limited to 1 hour per day and 3 total reservations per week.  Time limits and reservation limits are dependent on demand. Reservation times: 10:00 AM, 11:30 AM, or 1:00 PM, Mon, Tue, Wed & Friday or Thursdays at 2:00 PM, 3:30 PM, 5:00 PM.
 
  • When you arrive for your reservation you will be asked to complete a brief health screening.  If you are showing symptoms of COVID-19 please do not schedule a reservation at this time.
 
  • When you arrive at the Library, please leave an empty parking spot between you and the next vehicle.  More parking is available in the far parking lot.
 
  • Patrons and County employees must wear face masks at all times while in the Library.  Strict social distancing guidelines will be enforced.  Please remain six feet away from other patrons and staff.  Unfortunately we will not be able to offer one-on-one computer help at this time.
 
  • So that we can stay on schedule, please be on time for your reservation.  Sessions will end on time so that we have 30 minutes between reservations to disinfect the computer area.       
 
  • Unless you absolutely need help from another member of the same household to fill out your unemployment forms, only one individual will be allowed per computer.  Children accompanying their parents must sit in the chair next to them at all times.
  
  • Failure to follow the stated protocols will result in you being asked to leave for the day.  Repeated violations will result in a suspension of library services.
 
Thank you for your patience, this is a new process for everyone.   We are continually thinking about the best way to offer you necessary services during these uncharted times.
