(Brooksville, FL) On April 1, 2020 Governor Ron DeSantis issued Executive Order (EO) Number 20-91, enacting a Safer at Home order for the State of Florida beginning at 12:01 a.m. on April 3, 2020 through April 30, 2020. Per the EO, Hernando County residents shall limit their movements and personal interactions outside of their homes to only those necessary to obtain or provide essential services or conduct essential activities. In accordance with this EO, all Hernando County Library branch locations and parks will not be open for public access until April 30, 2020.
All Hernando County Public Library branch locations will continue to be closed for public access. Additionally, residents may no longer reserve, pick up or drop off items at these library locations. However, we do encourage residents to take advantage of the many e-resources available online at www.HernandoCountyLibrary.us. All fines have been suspended until May 1, 2020.
While Hernando County park locations will not be open for public access, boat ramps and marinas will remain open for public use, so long as Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for social distancing are followed.
