Collect and return service to be introduced at Thurso Library
High Life Highland is taking the first steps in its Caithness "bounce back" campaign next week with the introduction of a collect and return service at Thurso Library.
From Wednesday, library users in the town will be able to access items by requesting them in advance and booking a slot for collection.
Principal libraries manager Julie Corcoran said: “The safety of our customers, our staff and our communities is our priority as we look to begin providing services again at our libraries across the Highlands.
“We will be introducing a limited service at Thurso Library, with the library opening on July 22 initially on a 'collect and return' basis. This means customers can phone or email the library to request items and collect them during their allocated time slot.
“We hope to gradually reinstate library browsing and access to our public access computing facilities shortly thereafter as we introduce a range of appropriate measures to ensure the safety of customers and staff. Among others, these measures will include a computer booking system, social distancing and the introduction of enhanced cleaning routines around the library.
“We very much look forward to welcoming our customers, regulars and new, back to a full library service when it is safe and appropriate to do so.”
Customers can contact the library by phone during its opening hours on 01847 893237.
