LIBRARY Phased Re-opening
The Library is now open for 'Select and Collect' on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons from 2.00 - 4.00 p.m. and Saturdays from 10.00 a.m. - 12 Noon. This has been developed to introduce a contactless service for customers. Customers need to either phone the Community Library (708848) or Library HQ (01609533878) to express reading preferences. Customers will then be contacted to arrange collection of their books. There is no charge for this service.
The Library will be open for public browsing and computer use from Tuesday 11th August. A great deal of planning has gone into ensuring that volunteers and customers have confidence that we have safe measures in place including protective screens, hand sanitisers, wipes and clear floor markings/one way system to assist with social distancing. Items which cannot be easily cleaned have been removed.
A maximum of 6 customers (including one PC user if present) will be allowed in the building at any one time. A family of 4 persons will be allowed in the Junior section if capacity allows. Slots of 15 minutes will be allocated unless the Library is quiet when this may be extended to 30 minutes. We are sure customers will understand and follow the guidelines to prevent queues forming.
Face coverings are now mandatory in the Library (with some exemptions). A North Yorkshire Track and Trace system will also be in operation.
PLEASE NOTE : The toilet is closed until further notice.
Please watch this space for more information.
