THUNDER BAY – The Thunder Bay Public Library will reopen for curbside service at three locations, after the provincial government extended lockdown measures that were set to expire Jan. 9 in northern Ontario for at least two more weeks.
The library’s Waverley, Brodie, and Mary J.L. Black branches will each open their entrances for limited services beginning on Tuesday, Jan. 12.
Hours of operation will be Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. until further notice.
Services available will include no-contact holds pickup, returns, and free, no-contact access to faxing, scanning, and photocopying, as well as battery recycling drop-off.
Return boxes will remain open 24/7 at all locations.
Curbside service will not be offered at the County Park Branch, the library said, as the County Fair Mall is not currently accessible to the public. However, staff will be contacting patrons when holds are ready, to redirect them to another location for pickup.
The library encouraged residents to access online resources and further service updates at its website.
