RESTORED HOURS AND SERVICES
EL INICIO DE HORAS Y SERVICIOS RESTAURADOS
|
|
Welcome back to restored hours and services on October 11, 2021! After a long year and a half, we are excited to offer our community expanded library hours and services. We will open for our full service hours, 7 days per week at the Downtown Library, 6 days per week at Redwood Shores Branch Library and 5 days per week at the Schaberg Branch Library. In addition to returning to our pre-COVID hours, we are bringing back many of our signature services. These include Project READ, the Downtown Library Teen Center and teen room at Redwood Shores Branch Library, several of the early childhood learning interactives, and study rooms. With the health and safety of employees and the public a top priority, indoor in-person public programs and events where groups gather will continue to be postponed until January 2022. Our libraries are youth settings, so safety measures will remain in place and we will continue to monitor San Mateo County Health Department and CDC recommended guidelines to ensure a safe and welcoming visit for all. Visit our webpage for more information.
¡Bienvenido de nuevo al inicio de horas y servicios restaurados que comienza el 11 de octubre de 2021! Después de un largo año y medio, estamos emocionados de ofrecer a nuestra comunidad más horas y servicios de biblioteca. Abriremos durante nuestro horario de servicios restaurados, los 7 días de la semana en la biblioteca Central, 6 días a la semana en la biblioteca sucursal Redwood Shores y 5 días a la semana en la biblioteca sucursal Schaberg. Además de regresar a nuestro horario previo a COVID, estamos restableciendo muchos de nuestros servicios exclusivos. Estos incluyen eventos en el Centro para Adolescentes de la Biblioteca Central, el salón para adolescentes de la Biblioteca sucursal de Redwood Shores, los juegos interactivos de aprendizaje infantil, Proyecto LEER y salas de estudio. Dado que la salud y la seguridad de los empleados y del público son una prioridad máxima, los programas y eventos públicos en persona dentro del edificio se posponen hasta enero del 2022. Nuestras bibliotecas son entornos para jóvenes, por lo que se mantendrán las medidas de seguridad y continuaremos monitoreando el Departamento de Salud del Condado de San Mateo y las pautas recomendadas por el CDC para garantizar una visita segura y acogedora para todos.

You can help us fully equip and furnish the Makerspace by purchasing needed items from the Amazon Wish List.
