New mask option coming soon!

 

Submitted by Elise Herbst

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is expected to update its mask advice this week to reflect the available options and different levels of protection they provide.  It is expected that they will be recommending that for the best protection you wear either KN95 or N95 masks.  These masks can filter 95% of particles in the air.

Out of an abundance of caution for our employees, FCPL has ordered KN95 masks for employee use.  The masks are expected to be delivered between January 20th – 28th and will be distributed to all locations. These masks offer 5-layer filter for protection, are made from a durable, skin-friendly material and are moisture resistant.  They are also reusable and come individually wrapped.

The masks are offered as another option to you if you choose to wear them.  You may still wear cloth or surgical type masks if you choose. We will still have the blue surgical type masks for distribution to patrons. 

We would really like to hear your feedback once you try the new masks.  Please email Human Resources at hr@forsythpl.org and let us know what you think!
