Library re-opens with limited services
—
Readers rejoice, Richmond Public Library is re-opening but with limited services.
Adhering to all the precautions necessary to avoid the spread of COVID-19 during the pandemic, the Brighouse branch (7700 Minoru Gate) is providing quick drop-in service.
“Library staff are pleased to be able to expand service offerings that allow customers to browse and check out popular collections for all ages, and receive one-on-one help from library staff,” says library board chair Robin Leung. “(This is) in addition to the library’s current available services and online programming.”
Seating and study spaces remain closed, and in-branch programming is also yet to resume.
While there is no physical access to fiction, non-fiction and children’s collection, staff will retrieve these materials by request.
To ensure the safety of community members and library staff, physical distancing measures must continue to be practiced. As well, capacity limits and cleaning protocols will be in place.
The Brighouse branch is open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekdays (coinciding with access to outdoor book return bins). The Cambie, Ironwood and Steveston branches are expected to re-open in August, with plans to also expand hours and Saturday service at that time.
All outdoor book return bins will remain open from 9 a.m.
Readers not ready to visit the library in person are encouraged to continue to access services online at www.yourlibrary.ca
