The closures follow those of schools, leisure venues and council meetings.
All lending times will be extended until the end of June. For further extensions after June, email ([email protected]), message via social media or call 03000 41 31 31.
If you have reservations, or reservations on order, they will be kept safe until re-opening. Once re-opened, they will be available for 10 days before going back into circulation. If you cannot collect the reservation during that time due to self-isolation, to can get a refund for the reservation fee or reorder it at no additional charge.
