From Ottawa Public Library:
With the announcement of a provincial emergency and stay-at-home order,
OPL has decided to return to curbside service – that is providing holds
pickup and returns service at the branch entrance. Starting April 8,
customers are no longer permitted to enter.
Hours of operation
remain the same. The Bookmobile and Homebound Services continue to
operate, as well as online programming and services.
Cardholders
will be able to return Library items and pick up holds without an
appointment by lining up at the branch entrance. Employees will be
available at the door to help. We thank you for your patience as it may
take time to retrieve items and check out holds.
Borrowed items
can only be returned when branches are open. We know that 24-hour book
return is one of the services our cardholders want back the most. We are
testing a possible solution that still follows the quarantine
requirement and health guidelines.
We continue to follow
direction from the Province of Ontario and guidance from Ottawa Public
Health to stop the spread of COVID-19 in our community, and as
such, mask-wearing outside in line remains mandatory.
If you have further questions, please contact InfoService at 613-580-2940 or InfoService@
We
look forward to expanding in-person services again when it is safe to
do so. Until then, please explore OPL’s digital collection and enjoy a
wide variety of virtual programming in addition to the current curbside
service for physical items. Please take care and stay well.
