Announcement! We will be opening select branches in a limited capacity starting Tuesday, September 8th. In-branch service at select locations across the province will resume next week in a limited capacity for access to materials and returns. #nlpoli #Newfoundland

Participating library branches opening on September 8th are:
Western Region:
Cormack, Corner Brook, Cow Head, Deer Lake, Pasadena, St. George's, Stephenville, Port Saunders.

Central Region: Grand Falls-Windsor, Gander, Gaultois.

Eastern Region: Mount Pearl, Clarenville.

Labrador Region: Labrador City

St. John's Region: The A.C. Hunter, Marjorie Mews, and Michael Donovan Libraries will all be open to the public for limited hours starting Tuesday, September 8th.

Due to the variety in location, size, and staff capacity at each branch, the resumption of public library services across the province will be a staggered approach: methodical and deliberate and services will vary from site to site.

The number of patrons allowed to enter a branch at any given time will vary and masks are required when visiting the library.

Staff have been supplied with appropriate PPE; circulation desks have been outfitted with Lexan barriers; and high-touch areas, such as public computers and desks will be sanitized frequently after each public use.

Directional arrows will be used to direct foot-traffic and physical distancing will be required. Operational hours at each location will vary and many have changed since the pandemic. Check in with your branch via phone or Facebook page to find their updated hours.

Patrons will be encouraged to continue placing their items on hold for in-branch pick-up in an effort to minimize browsing and unnecessary handling of materials. Holds can be placed either through our catalogue at http://www.nlpl.ca  or by calling/emailing branches directly.
