Click and collect service at North Yorkshire libraries during lockdown
The service started last year in response to the pandemic.
A click and collect service is running at North Yorkshire libraries during the latest lockdown.
The service, which started last year in response to the pandemic - allows customers to phone or email their library to request a book and then collect it from the library entrance.
A home library service is also running - where volunteers deliver books, DVDs and CDs to people who are unable to visit a library.
Computer sessions at libraries must be booked in advance by phone or email. Computers will be spaced to allow social distancing and will be cleaned after each use.
County Councillor Greg White, Executive Member for Libraries, said: “During the lockdown, it is important that people stay home and stay safe. However, we know how beneficial a connection to their library can be to people’s wellbeing and how many people rely on free library computers to access services and benefits and to apply for jobs.
"I am pleased that we are able to continue to provide that connection to some degree through our Select and Collect service and to support the most vulnerable with the home library service and computer access.”
