Charleston County s main library on Calhoun Street will be closed temporarily as a contractor sanitizes the building. A staff member there tested positive for COVID-19, according to the library system, so other staff who ve been in contact with them are quarantining.
Library staff expect the building and book return to reopen on Saturday, spokesman Doug Reynolds said.
The closure comes as 2,023 more people tested positive for the novel coronavirus and nearly 40 more people in the Palmetto State died.
While Charleston County Public Library is still offering curbside services, four locations are open for patrons to print materials and browse the shelves. One of them, Wando Mount Pleasant Library closed for sanitation last week after two staff members tested positive.
