Newby & Scalby Library
Following the government announcement about the relaxation of Covid restrictions, we have had a Trustee meeting to discuss the future, and assuming that all goes according to plan, we hope that Newby and Scalby Library will be able to open as follows:
12 April – open as we were July to October – 4 mornings a week, Monday, Wednesday, Friday 10 – 2 and Saturday 10 – 1. A one-way system will operate, 5 computers will be available for public use, and browsing will be limited to 20 minutes per person.
17 May – open 4 days; Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday but extending the hours to 10 – 5.30 on weekdays and 10 – 1.30 on Saturday. Seating, newspapers, use of the coffee machine and unlimited browsing will return. Library groups such as Crafty Articles, Scrabble and Art Club will return if they wish.
21 June – open as normal, five days a week 10 – 5.30 Mon, Tues, Wed and Friday, 10 – 1.30 Saturday.
All the above, of course, is dependent upon all going well and government restrictions being lifted as expected. We have started to organise many events for the Summer, so watch this space!
Books may be returned through the library’s letterbox if customers wish. No fines will be charged during lockdown.
The Home Library will continue to operate and customers can phone or email us to order Select and Collect books and DVDs. Give us a call on 01609 534059 on Wednesdays or Fridays between 10am – 12 noon or email nslbookorders@gmail.com to request a special bundle of books based on your favourite authors and genres. We won’t include anything you’ve borrowed before from NYCC libraries. You can also request books in our library or order others in the NYCC catalogue. We’ll ring you to let you know when you can collect your bundle. Collection times are Wed and Fri 10am to 12 noon.
