During this time:

• Please bring your library ticket to use the self service machines (we will help if you forget). 
• You do not need an appointment but visits are limited to 30 minutes. 
• All customers enter through the main entrance.
• 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. 
• A maximum of 4 people in the Children’s Library at any one time, though larger families may enter together.
• 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.
