Sherburn indoor pool open again

SHERBURN — Martin County libraries are open once again.

The library in Sherburn is open from 1:30-5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. There are new rules and procedures that must be followed, however. These include using hand sanitizer when you enter the library, wearing a mask or face covering and practicing social distancing (6 feet).

They ask that you make an appointment if you wish to use a computer. They also urge you to “browse and go.” Building capacity is limited, so there should be no social gatherings or extended stays.

There is a summer reading program now through July 31. The library also has “take and make” summer activities for children available to be picked up.

Check out what’s new at the library.

As of this date, Thad Tumbleson, former Trimont High School graduate, will be holding his “Coach T Football Camp” for kindergarten through eighth-graders from July 27-31 on the north side of the Martin County West Elementary School in Sherburn.

Grades K-3 will meet 8:30-11:30 a.m. and grades 4-8 will hold camp 12:30-3:30 p.m.

The focus will be on the fundamentals of football and working as a team for a common goal.

Life lessons will be taught through football, and the expectation to be good citizens is one of the camp goals.

Coach T guarantees you will work hard and have a good time.

COVID-19 precautions will be in place. The deadline to register for the camp is July 22. For questions or to register your child, call MCW Community Education at (507) 764-2336.
