For the safety and health of staff and patrons, Lannom Library is closed effective immediately, until 8 a.m. June 8, due to a severe illness currently plaguing Tullahoma.

According to a letter addressed to the Library Board and the County Mayor, the library will begin curbside procedures immediately. There will be a maximum of two people in the building to ensure patrons still have access to books and internet in the parking lot.

The illness is said to be a stomach virus that has been lingering fora week.

“I have had 5 employees out over the last two weeks and two of those were hospitalized. I have spoken with a few doctors here in Tullahoma who say they have seen a lot of cases this week and it is ‘spreading like wildfire,’” writes Courtney Mercurio, Lannom Library Director.

The Summer Reading Kickoff party was rescheduled to June 8.

Summer reading program registration is ongoing.
