City of Reading issued the following announcement on Jan. 19.
Today, Mayor Eddie Morán issued the following statement announcing the Reading Public Library taking the lead on assisting residents with ordering at-home COVID-19 tests recently announced by the federal government:
"Similar to last year, when I partnered with the Reading Public Library to assist residents in booking their vaccination appointments, I announced a similar partnership to help residents order their at-home test kits.
Testing is undoubtedly one powerful tool in the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. We all want to keep our families and loved ones as safe as possible by providing them with tests that
will yield accurate results. We will help anyone who asks, especially disadvantaged residents who suffer from a lack of economic resources along with technological and language challenges. All four of our library branches have computers, internet Wi-Fi connection, along with bilingual assistance that will allow residents to receive the assistance that they need.
We encourage the residents of Reading to benefit from this great opportunity that could be a life-changer in their daily practices."
Melissa Adams, Reading Public Library's new executive director, concurred. "Staff members at Reading Public Library are always happy to serve members of the community and are ready to help residents order the at-home COVID test kits that are being made available by the federal government.
We receive and encourage residents to come to the library to make use of our computers, internet, and trained staff."
