"We're trying to make sure we get as many people and their different schedules. Everyone has different daily schedules, and we're trying to do it kind of after work," said Justin Stevensen,  Branch Manager at MLK Jr. Public Library. "We can't see them smile cause they're usually wearing a mask, but you can tell they're lighting up knowing we have these KN95s for them."

The following locations are scheduled to have masks:

  • Central Library, 14949 E. Alameda Parkway
  • Hoffman Heights Library, 1298 Peoria St.
  • Martin Luther King Jr Library, 9898 E. Colfax Ave.
  • Mission Viejo Library, 15324 E. Hampden Circle
  • Iliff Square Library, 2253 S. Peoria St.
  • Tallyn's Reach Library, 23911 E. Arapahoe Road.

City officials say more masks might be distributed on Jan. 29 if more masks arrive before the weekend
