Open our Libraries Now for Click & Collect Service

Libraries should be allowed to stay open for click and collect service under Levels 4 and 5 of the Covid-19 Framework.

Why is this important?

Libraries can safely operate a click and collect service while maintaining adhering to the current guidelines.
Under Level 5 , retailers which can provide a click and collect service to customers are allowed to continue to operate, this shows lack of consistency in Government policy.

Public libraries provide an essential service to local communities. While we acknowledge that online services such as audio and ebook rentals are offered under Level 5, these services should not be considered equivalent to library book rental.
