Coleshill Library and Information Centre

Coleshill Library is now offering a Grab & Go Service. 

 

Early May bank holiday - all County Council libraries are closed on Sunday 2 May and Monday 3 May.

 

What is available: 

  • Browse and borrow books from our shelves, and self-issue (for up to 30 minutes). 

  • Request books online and collect in the library.  

  • Staff Select and collect in the library.  We can supply book(s) that you like to read. 

  • Computer sessions bookable in advance online, by phone or ask inside (for up 45 minutes). 

  • Library Account enquiries & general enquiries including joining. 

  • Return books. 

  • photocopier – A4 black and white, and colour (staff operated)

During this time: 

  • Please bring your library ticket to use the self service machines (we will help if you forget).  

  • We can only allow a limited number of people into the library at any one time.  You may have to wait a short time before entering.  

  • You do not need an appointment but visits are limited to 30 minutes.  

  • A maximum of 1 family in the children’s area at any one time. 

  • All other services remain unavailable. 

COVID-19 precautions: 

  • Quarantining and cleaning measures for returned books will be in place, before they are reused, to reduce the risk of spreading COVID-19.  Your returned items may not be removed from your account for up to 5 days. 

  • Protect yourself and others from coronavirus. In line with Government guidance you are required to wear a face covering when in the library.  Please do not visit the library if you have any of the main symptoms of coronavirus. 

  • Libraries are government designated venues where a system must be in place to request and record contact details of their customers, visitors, and staff to help break the chains of transmission of coronavirus. We will therefore collect your name and contact details, at Grab & Go libraries, to support NHS Test and Trace.
