“Our libraries are some of our most valuable resources in the community, and it is great news that they are beginning to reopen for more in-person services,” Sen. Addabbo said.
“Our libraries are some of our most valuable resources in the community, and it is great news that they are beginning to reopen for more in-person services,” Addabbo said. “With school ending for the summer, libraries remain a fantastic venue for children to continue learning and reading during their summer vacation.”
As QPL starts this new phase of service, note: customers should limit visits to 30 minutes or less; a limited number of customers will be permitted in the library at a time; and no seating will be available except for public computers.
During your visit, you may browse materials, place requests for materials, pick up requested materials, receive reference services, use the computer and printers, pick up remote printing jobs, and use the restroom.
Face masks are required when entering and inside the library, and you must stay at least 6 feet apart from other people.
