Linebaugh Closed to the Public and More

Following the county-wide mandate, all branches of the Rutherford County Library System continue to require masks to be worn inside facilities.

Along with the mask mandate, RCLS branch library staff continue to play their part in mitigating the spread of the COVID-19 virus. RCLS staff wear masks when working with the public, work behind sneeze guards, keep public computers separated to comply with social distancing guidelines and limit their facilities to 50% occupancy during Phase Two.

Due to increased staff shortages and safety concerns for the public, the Linebaugh branch will be closed to the public through the month of February.
