The North Vancouver City Library building will reopen Tuesday, July 7 with limited, modified services and enhanced safety protocols.
We are looking forward to welcoming our community back to the library, however, service at the library will look different as we figure out new and safer ways of doing things. We are carefully following the guidance from WorkSafeBC and public health officials. Protocols and signage will be in place to promote physical distancing.
The library will be operating on a “grab-and-go” model in our initial reopening, with a focus on access to library materials. Customers will be able to use a limited number of public computers and Wi-Fi stations. We ask that visitors limit their time in the library to facilitate increased cleaning of our public spaces and to allow others access to the library.
Parts of the library will remain closed for now and some in-person library services will be unavailable. Most public seating has been temporarily removed to allow for physical distancing.
