People are now being allowed back inside both branches of the Everett Public Library
First a message from Library Director Abigail Cooley:
We know the people of Everett depend on the wide variety of services the Everett Public Library provides which is why we are excited to welcome customers back into our buildings, beginning Tuesday, March 2. Both locations will be open at 25% capacity for limited services, including browsing and computer use. We will continue working with the City of Everett, Governor’s Office and Snohomish Health District monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic and follow their guidance.
When you visit the library again, you’ll notice that our spaces and services look a bit different. We have made these changes to keep you and our staff safe. While we are looking forward to seeing people in person, we encourage customers to use our curbside pickup and to keep your visits brief. Read on to see what you can expect when library buildings reopen.
Here is what you need to know to plan your visit:
- Browse and borrow items from the collection
- Public computer use, limited to two (2) hours
- Copier/printer/scanner and fax use (where available)
- Apply for or activate a library card
- Return items
- Access the Northwest Room by appointment
Both library locations will be open, first come, first served, during the following hours. Once the building reaches 25% capacity, security will limit entry. We ask that visitors please reserve the first hour of each day (10 am-11 am) for vulnerable populations.
