The Deerfield Public Library will now require all persons 2 years and older to wear a mask inside the building.
DEERFIELD, IL — Patrons of the Deerfield Public Library must now wear masks while inside the building. Stating the requirement is due to the "substantial transmission rate of COVID-19 in Lake County," the library announced the update Monday.
