We have safety protocols in place, such as social distancing and cleaning standards consistent with guidelines developed by Saskatchewan Health Authority and Canadian Urban Libraries Council (CULC). We are doing all we can to keep you safe, and we ask that all visitors do their part too.

Returned materials will be placed in a quarantine when returned. This action complies with current standards put forth by, among others, the Canadian Urban Libraries Council, the Urban Libraries Council, the American Library Association, and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

If you are picking your holds up in-branch you are expected to wear a mask, even if you’ve been vaccinated. We have masks available for you. 

If you are using curbside pickup, it is up to you, however, the Public Health Agency of Canada recommends wearing a non-medical mask in the community even if you have no symptoms, as an additional measure to protect others around you.
