Plymouth libraries to reopen today
It's part of the next phase of the easing of lockdown
Plymouth’s libraries will be reopening to customers today (12 April), as the next phase of COVID restrictions are lifted.
People will be able to browse the shelves and book PCs again at Central, Crownhill, Devonport, Efford and Plympton libraries, which are currently open only for ‘select and collect’ pick-ups and essential PC use.
Estover (which has been fully closed during lockdown) will reopen on Tuesday 13 April, along with Peverell, Southway and St Budeaux. North Prospect (which has also been closed) and Plymstock will follow from Wednesday 14 April.
As before, special measures and reduced opening hours will be in place at all libraries to ensure the safety of staff and customers, in line with national guidance.
