The Roseburg Public Library will reopen to the public on November 23rd.

A release said the building has been closed to visitors since mid-August, due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic.

The library will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Monday and Tuesday, November 23rd and 24th, but will be closed for the remainder of the Thanksgiving holiday week.

Starting November 30th, library hours will be from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, and from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays. That schedule will continue for the foreseeable future.

The release said patrons are asked to limit their visits to one hour. Masks or face coverings must be worn inside the building at all times. Public computers, Wi-Fi and printing services will be available.

Meeting rooms will not be available. Library staff will not accept reservations for future meeting room use.

Library sponsored programs will remain virtual and will be held via Facebook or via Zoom.

Patrons can also use contactless drive-up pickup service, which will be available during all hours the library is open to the public. Those wanting to use that service, should park in designated spots in front of the building and call the number on the nearby sign to have materials delivered to their vehicle.

The release said the library will begin using volunteers again.
