LAS VEGAS – The Las Vegas-Clark County Library District will reopen most of its libraries to the public beginning Thursday. This will be the first time that the public can enter their neighborhood libraries since the COVID-19 outbreak caused a sudden closure of the Library District on March 16.
Regular library hours will be reinstated with varying and limited services available at 24 of the 25 Library District branches.
Procedures are in place throughout the Library District that will enable the public to use computers, tech center equipment, and other materials under strict social distancing guidelines. In addition, all library buildings have undergone a deep cleaning and treatment with a hypoallergenic antimicrobial spray, hand sanitizing stations and social distancing signs are in place, sneeze guards have been installed at all service desks, and all returned items will undergo a four-day quarantine process. Library staff will wear facemasks and also gloves for certain transactions.
The following is a snapshot of what the public can find at their neighborhood libraries:
Library & Tech Services
Print, copy, and fax services
Continued Wi-Fi expansion into parking lots
Use of library equipment
Computer Centers, Tech Labs, Makerspaces, Youth and Adult PCs are available, but limited, as social distancing must be enforced.
