This step-by-step guide was published by The New York Times.  You may find it useful in teaching How to Help Your Child Wear a Mask.

  1. Wash the mask before the first wearing using unscented soap.  Wash it at least once a week or more often if soiled.
  2. Experiment with the straps, and adjust as needed.
  3. Can’t get the straps just-right?  Sew buttons into a hairband or baseball cap for the straps.
  4. Provide distractions such as gum if your child tends to chew on the mask.
  5. Select a mask with a favorite character or animal.  Let your child name the mask!

In the meantime, Mr. Christian, our library director, confirms that the library’s book drop is open, and you can contact the library by phone (856) 829-2476 or by his email address (cpulvere@bcls.lib.nj.us) to make arrangements to schedule your use of the library’s computers.

Stay safe and healthy!
