The Taylorville Public Library is closed after an employee tested positive for COVID-19. Chris-Mont EMA along with the Christian County Health Department was notified immediately to start contact tracing. Deep cleaning protocols have been initiated and the facility is awaiting the final results of contact tracing to reopen as soon as they can.

If you were recently a customer at the library, you would not meet the guidelines for exposure which are less than six feet for more than 15 minutes, therefore your risk would be quite low. As always, continue to monitor your health and check with your physician if you feel unwell or need more information.

To contact the Chris-Mont EMA, call 532-9560, call the Christian County Health Department at 824-4113, or call the Montgomery County Health Department at 532-2001.
