Windsor Public Library will be offering additional curbside services and delivery starting in June.
“After consultation with all levels of government, public health officials and other library systems, we believe it prudent to err on the side of caution and delay the rollout of curbside pickup and delivery to June 15,” said WPL Board Chair and city councillor Rino Bortolin. “We will spend the next several weeks fine-tuning a comprehensive rollout plan which both ensures the safety and wellbeing of customers and staff and provides a secure means to return previously checked out books and materials.”
All library branches remain closed for the time being however FRED the bookmobile continues to make home deliveries.
Staff have been redeployed to programs and initiatives supporting school curricula, online services and on-line story times. They will return to work on May 25 to implement the curbside service.
“We are all anxious to open and see our customers again and we are working hard to provide a safe and welcoming environment,” said WPL CEO Kitty Pope.
Once curbside service has been established, Windsor Public Library will trial Visit By Appointment, which will allow a limited number of customers in a branch, at any one time, to access materials, resources and public computers.
