Harrogate and Knaresborough libraries are re-opening this week.
They were closed temporarily last week after a member of staff in each tested positive for Covid-19.
Both libraries are resuming their reduced lockdown services - Harrogate library re-opens tomorrow and Knaresborough on Saturday.
Customers can use the Select and Collect service, through which they can request books by phone or email and pick them up from the library entrance. The libraries’ public computers will also be available for essential use, but must be booked in advance.
North Yorkshire County Councillor Greg White, Executive Member for Libraries, said: “We are making sure that libraries remain safe for customers. The buildings at Harrogate and Knaresborough have been thoroughly cleaned during the closures and staff have isolated as necessary.
“We have robust safety measures in place, including collecting contact tracing details, strictly limited numbers and plentiful hand sanitiser, so customers can continue to use our Select and Collect and to book public computer sessions with confidence.”
All libraries in the county are currently closed for browsing.
