There’s some good news for people who use the Regina Public Library as staff are hoping to have all RPL locations ready to reopen by July 13 amid the COVID-19 pandemic
One of the important changes visitors will notice upon their return to their local library is protocols that support social distancing. Barber said one of those changes will include the amount of people allowed to gather in a library.
“Yes we will have some seating, but not nearly as much as we normally would,” explained Barber during a phone interview. “As the times change, as the protocols and guidelines change, we’ll change as well.”
He mentioned how it will be a different library experience that supports social distancing, which will be reflected in areas such as their hours of operation.
“Hours will start out a little more limited, and part of that is ultimately around the safety of our customers and staff in terms of the number of people we can have in our facilities.”
Hours will start from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. from Monday through Saturday and from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sundays.
Barber mentioned that their return and curbside pickup services will continue until their branches are back in business.
