We ask that you do not borrow from the library if you or someone in your household has symptoms of Covid-19. If you have library items at home, and then you or a household member develop symptoms, please do not return your items until you have completed a 14 day isolation period and are fever free for the last 5 days. You can renew your items on the phone or online.
Under 12s must be supervised at all times. As maximum numbers will apply we ask that you limit your visit to a quick visit.
