CARES Act funds granted to BPL.
We want to take a few minutes to share our cleaning and quarantine practices performed for the safety of our patrons and community.
Bartlesville Public Library is following the REALM (Reopen Archives, Libraries and Museums) guidelines.
BPL receives returned materials via the outside drop boxes and a designated cart located outside of the circulation desk, then all returned materials are secured for a 72-hour quarantine. After the 72-hour quarantine, all materials are inspected and then undergo individual UV light disinfection.
After the library materials are quarantined and disinfected, BPL staff returns the items to our circulating collection. Staff does not check-in materials returned until after the quarantine and disinfection processes for their safety. When checked in, items are checked in as of the date they were returned by you, so that fines do not apply during the quarantine or disinfection period.
Additionally, we take extra care and attention inside the library. All BPL staff members wear masks at all times. BPL staff disinfect and sanitize patron areas at regular intervals and immediately when someone leaves an area. BPL’s closing and opening procedures include deep cleaning of all areas.
BPL is pleased to offer our community a library that is relevant and follows best practices.
Please contact Denise Goff our Operations Manager at (918)338-4187 or email Denise at dcgoff@cityofbartlesville.org to let us know about any concerns you have.
BPL – Serving our community with excellence!
BPL is Now Open!
We will also continue serving patrons with
Curbside Pickup!

Monday – Thursday:

Friday – Saturday:

You are encouraged, but not required,
to wear a mask while in the library.
For the first two weeks of June,
we will limit patrons in the library to 91,
(by Bartlesville Ordinance and Covid-19 recommended guidelines).
We ask that our patrons limit their visit time to 30 minutes. Exceptions can apply to those who have a designated
appointment for public computer usage or
appointments in the Business Center or the Creative Corner.
We will accept returns for the Library of Things at the Reference Desk; however, we will not begin lending Things at this time.
We expect to begin lending from the Library of Things collection again on June 15.
We have made good use of our time while closed by performing many renovations.
We hope you love them!
Please remember to observe social distancing guidelines while in the library, wash your hands and use the provided hand sanitizer.
For everyone’s safety, returned library materials will undergo a
72-hour quarantine and sanitation procedure prior to placing the item into circulation.
We are so excited to be able to serve you again,
and cannot wait to welcome you back!
If you have any questions please contact us at 918-338-4171.
