What’s happening at the libraries?

Posted on 3 September 2021

A woman registering for contact tracing at the library — *Library Technician, Jodie Porter, uses the library iPad to register her contact details on the SafeWA app*

We hope our community is staying safe and healthy during this very cold weather.

The threat of Covid has brought many changes over the past 18 months, but we are currently operating under relatively few restrictions:

Registering for contact-tracing before entering remains mandatory
We are continuing to do an extra clean of library surfaces
Please practise physical distancing
Wednesday mornings are now open to all ages 😊

Remember, your libraries offer you a warm, welcoming and accessible place.

Stay tuned for more exciting news to come… we will soon be launching some new e-resources for our community to enjoy from home – more magazines, comics for all ages, and a new language-learning platform!
