This includes the lobby at City Hall, the lobby at the Police Department, Case Halstead Library, and lobbies at each of the utility locations. Staff will still be working at each location, we are taking this precaution to limit public exposure.

  • Overdue fines will not accrue while the library is closed.
    • Patrons are strongly encouraged to hang on to their library materials until after March 31.

  • Beyond this, we are strongly encouraging everyone to err on the side of caution and cancel any events that may involve any high risk groups.
  • Currently no decisions on postponing city league spring sports have been made. This situation will be re-evaluated at the beginning of April and proper notification will be given.

We want to ensure we are doing our part to help slow the spread of COVID-19. We will continue to encourage everyone in the community to follow CDC, IDPH and Clinton County Health Department guidelines involving social distancing, practicing good hygiene, etc. Please stay healthy and safe!
