Monday, December 7, 2020
Trails West Branch (11401 East 23rd Street Independence, MO) is closing until further notice after learning a staff member was likely exposed to COVID-19. That staff member last worked Saturday, December 5, 2020.

While exposure risks are minimized by the Library’s health and safety protocols, including mask and social distancing requirements, all visitors to the Trails West Branch during that time period are being contacted.

All other branch employees also have been alerted, and a cleaning crew will sanitize the space. The Trails West Branch will reopen once the Library can conduct contact tracing, complete the cleaning, and ensure adequate staffing. The Library continues to offer Wi-Fi for free outside the building.

Kids Café services are suspended at the branch but remain available at Bluford, Southeast, and Waldo locations.
