Local library to reopen July 13

The Shelburne Public Library has very exciting news for the community this week.

The library will open for browsing on Tuesday, July 13 @ 12pm. However, curbside pickup will still be available and eResources are always available 24/7.

The library's objective is always to provide you with the service you need during these times.

Library staff are delighted to be able to open their doors to welcome the community back inside. The library will still be maintaining COVID Safety protocols as follows:

• Staff and patrons will be required to wear masks at all times

• Capacity limits will be set to enable safe distancing

• A time limit of 30 minutes for browsing or 30 minutes for computer use will also be necessary

Despite the fact, that things seem to be heading toward a state of normalcy, the library will continue to maintain a high degree of caution to ensure the health and safety of both its staff and patrons. Staff are excited to welcome people back and will do their utmost best to welcome everyone back to a safe environment.
