At the Library
By Mike Selby
Cranbrook Public Library
The Cranbrook Public Library is now open with extended hours (with some restrictions and reduced services.) We encourage patrons to limit their visits to 60 minutes. We also have a maximum number of patrons allowed in the building at one time, so you may be asked to wait.
Please wear a mask during your visit. Masks are mandatory now (and must be worn in accordance with provincial guidelines for your entire visit).
Library hours for February are:
10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, Thursday, and Friday
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday
12 p.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday.
Library Takeout curbside pick-up is still available by appointment.
Provincial Interlibrary loans have been reinstated as well.
We look forward to seeing everyone again.
February is international LOVE YOUR LIBRARY month. Please send us a note on why you “love your library,” or write on one of the hearts we have available at the Welcome Desk.
Storytimes are also posted regularly on our Facebook page.
Our website has all kinds of up-to-date COVID-19 information, as well as numerous links to ebooks and audio, streaming movies, educational opportunities, and more. Flip through your favourite magazine, learn a new skill, exercise at home and get homework help:Â at:Â Â www.cranbrookpubliclibrary.ca
We are pleased to offer free Wi-Fi all around the outside of the building. Please use it from the safety of your vehicle, and remember to practice social distancing.
