People in Waterford are being reminded that library services are still available even though the doors are closed again.
Contact and Collect services are now in place at seven branches across the City and County.
It's a way to order books and collect them from your local library when they are available.
During Level 3 you cannot visit the library but you can return, order and collect books.
From today you can order books for collection online or by phoning your local branch. #Waterford #Level3 #StaySafe pic.twitter.com/Jj66WrwepX— Waterford Libraries (@WaterfordLibs) October 7, 2020
Tracy McEneaney, Executive Librarian, says you contact your local library, either by phone or email [email protected] request the items you want and then arrange a date and time that suits you to pick up those items.
