• Wash your hands often and thoroughly. 
• Customers are welcome to use the library collections and spaces for an unlimited timeframe
• Cashless transactions are preferred
• JP services are provided in libraries by the JPs in the Community Program dependent on their availability and capacity.
• Limited computers are available to facilitate physical distancing.
• Library meeting rooms and Local History rooms are available during library opening hours. Kitchen facilities are now available, however, you will need to bring your own utensils and catering supplies, including tea, coffee etc. 
• In-Library events are being offered inline with the COVID safe checklist. Programs will continue to be offered online and outdoors (weather permitting).
• As directed in the Restrictions on Businesses, Activities and Undertakings Direction - contact information (name, phone number, email address, and the date and time period of your visit) of staff and guests entering our library facilities will be recorded.
