NORTH BAY - North Bay Public Library announced today curb side service will be available beginning Monday, June 1^st @ 10:00. The building will remain closed to the public, but, materials can be ordered and will be available for scheduled pick up.

“We are thrilled to be offering this modified return to service,” said library CEO Ravil Veli. “We have been eager to get this going.”

For more than a week library staff have been training and preparing to ensure all appropriate and recommended protocols are in place for the safety of library staff and patrons.

“We are following all health authority guidelines and recommendations set out by the government,” said Veli. “Our first priority is to provide a service that is safe for all.”

The library ceased operations several weeks ago as ordered by the provincial government in an effort to combat the spread of COVID 19.

“Despite being closed, we still have had people calling and coming to the library,” Veli added, “so we know people have missed our services.”

Curb side service can be accessed in three ways-beginning Monday June 1 @ 10:00
