TARPON SPRINGS, FL — Pinellas County is opening a new mask distribution location July 1 at the Tarpon Springs Public Library located at 138 E. Lemon St.

On Wednesday and Thursday the library will be open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. (the building will be closed from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. for cleaning). The library will be closed Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the Independence Day holiday weekend. For more information call (727) 943-4922.

A limited supply of free face masks is available for residents who need them to stay safe now that there is a countywide ordinance requiring face coverings.

It is part of the county efforts to slow the recent spike in COVID-19 cases in the community.
