The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has released tips for minimizing everyday risks of getting and spreading COVID-19, including tips for going to the library.

Here are 11 tips for visiting a library:

1. Use online reservation and advance-order checkout systems, if possible.

2. Choose digital over print materials, if possible.
