With COVID-19 cases continuing to increase, major public libraries have reduced services. As of Tuesday the Troy Public Library and the Lansingburgh branch are open by appointment only. Troy Library Director Paul Hicok says all visitors will be required to wear face masks and practice social distancing. The maximum capacity will be 10 people at a time at the Main Library and five at a time at the Lansingburgh branch. "What we're trying to do is discourage a lot of gathering at the library. So if you make an appointment, we're making either half hour or one hour appointments depending, you can still use the computer for one hour per day for access to the internet. And most of the other regular services are still available except for the fact that you do have to make an appointment to come in the building."
