Library Service COVID-19 Update:
On December 17,
- Your Library adjusted in-person services based on the latest public health and safety regulations and recommendations and will continue to offer alternate access to services.
- Use of contactless and online services is encouraged at this time.
What has changed?
- In-person programming has been temporarily paused. These changes will impact previously scheduled events. Please check the status of your event on our What’s On calendar before attending.
- Physical distancing must be maintained while inside the library. Please keep a minimum of six feet between yourself and others— including Library staff—who are not in your bubble.
- Rooms are unavailable for bookings, including private rooms, studio spaces at Central Library, and study rooms. If you have a space booked before January 5, staff will be in touch to cancel your booking.
- Children’s play items, such as toys, are not currently available.
- Furniture and computer stations have been moved or blocked off to maintain physical distance.
What remains the same?
- Masks are required in indoor spaces. If you need a mask, we have some available at our Info Desks.
- To enter our facilities and to make a same-day booking for a study room, Proof of Full COVID-19 Vaccination is not required.
- Personal food and drink are not allowed in common spaces. Water refill stations are open.
- Public computers will be out on the floor for your use.
- Technology Help has paused temporarily.
- Please note: When in-person programming and private room rentals resume, Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination with matching personal ID will be required for anyone age 12 or older to attend Library programs, including adults accompanying youth under 12. Learn more about the Provincial Proof of Vaccination Policy on their site.
