A MESSAGE FROM BLACKBURN WITH DARWEN LIBRARY AND INFORMATION SERVICE:
It’s been a long time! We’ve missed you and can’t wait to welcome you back to our libraries.
Preparations are ongoing to reopen our doors and it will be great to see you again!
We know how important our services are to you and we are working hard to ensure we can provide a safe and an enjoyable library visit. This will include following social distancing guidelines and hygiene measures.
To begin with, things will look and feel a little different. In the same way as shops, we will have a limit on the number of people in the library and, to ensure a steady flow, we ask that people leave once they have chosen their books so that others can then make use of the services. Children are welcome, but we kindly ask that those under 12 years old are accompanied by an adult at all times.
Here’s the plan …
