Library Notice – Closure of libraries in North Somerset
All North Somerset libraries, including the mobile library, will be closed from the end of Thursday 19 March until further notice. Congresbury Community library, which is run by volunteers, will be closed from Monday 23 March.
Extended Access will not be available at Portishead and Winscombe Libraries and Worle and Yatton Library and Children’s Centres.
While we recognise that libraries are important hubs of the communities which hundreds of people visit every day, our priority is to protect the health and wellbeing of our visitors and staff.
What to do with library loans
Existing loans will be automatically extended until Thursday 2 July. Please do not return items borrowed from the library during this time and please do not leave them on the doorstep, as they could be stolen or damaged.
What services will be available?
Libraries are more than just a physical space and we aim to continue to deliver a range of services, including access to eBooks, eMagazines and eAudio
Some libraries share a building with children’s centres. If you are currently under midwifery care at one of the area’s children’s centres, keep attending your usual location, as these midwife appointments will continue.
Contact us if you have any queries.
