The Roseburg Public Library has expanded the hours it is open.

Director Kris Wiley said the library is now open three extra hours on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Library hours will be Tuesdays and Thursdays from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., Wednesdays from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.

Wiley said the library will continue to follow Oregon Health Authority guidance during a transitional phase before fully reopening at a later date. Masks or face coverings must be worn inside the building at all times. Patrons are asked to limit their visits to one hour.

Wiley said meeting rooms are not available and the library staff will not accept reservations for future meeting room use.

A release said patrons may continue to use the drive-up pickup service that has been available for the past year. Patrons should park in designated spots in front of the library when the building is open to the public and then call the number on the sign to have materials delivered to their vehicles.

Wiley said most programs, including story times, will continue online through the library’s Facebook page. Events are posted at: www.roseburgpubliclibrary.com.
