During the fall of 2021, the Dexter District Library will require registration for all indoor, in-person programs. Registrants will need to register all members of their party. During this time, only pre-registered attendees will be seated. To provide for adequate social distancing, the Library will need to limit the number of in-person attendees at each program. Past attendance patterns for in-person events would frequently exceed current COVID-19 capacity limits. Walk-ins cannot be accommodated. The Library will continue to monitor COVID-19 conditions and the Library Board will review these requirements on a monthly basis.
