Library opens its doors today
THE Guille-Alles Library will open its doors again today, [4 June] but with limited services.
Opening times will be 10am to 3pm today and tomorrow and from Monday to Friday inclusive next week.
Visitors will be able to borrow books, DVDs and other items from the collection, and return things they have at home, all while observing social distancing.
Some services will remain suspended for the time being, including events, children’s activities, newspapers and magazines, and study space, while only one person per household will be able to visit at a time.
Chief librarian Laura Milligan said: ‘We are really looking forward to welcoming people back to the library.
‘Some creative thinking has been needed to enable social distancing in our characterful old building, but thanks to a real team effort we are now at a point where we are ready to open the doors. We’d like to thank everyone for their patience as we all work towards the new normal.’
The library has been running a free home delivery service during lockdown, delivering bundles of books, DVDs and jigsaws to hundreds of households. This service will continue in phase four for the benefit of people shielding.
Anyone shielding can request a free delivery at www.library.gg/deliveries or by phoning 720392.
