Let's Do the Right thing for Derby

Tue 27 Jul 2021

Here are some of the steps we are putting in place for the re-opening of our libraries. 

Social distancing 

  • We have installed clear signage to manage movement into, around, and out of our libraries.
  • Where possible, we have altered the layout to allow plenty of space to move about freely.
  • For the health and safety of everyone in the library, we ask that if possible, you come to the library alone.
  • We have reduced the number of public computers to minimise health risks.

Personal protection

  • We will ask you for your contact details at the point of arrival in cooperation with the NHS Test and Trace scheme. 
  • Our staff will continue to wear face coverings and we would encourage our customers to do wear face coverings if they are able, to help protect others. 
  • You will be encouraged to clean your hands using hand sanitiser when you enter the library. Hand sanitisers are positioned throughout for your usage.
  • We have installed protective screens at our service desks.

Library cleaning

  • We have increased our standard cleaning rotas and procedures. Staff will also wipe down common touch point areas.
  • Staff will wipe down public PCs and furniture after each session.

Card/contactless payment

  • To reduce as much contact as possible we have introduced card/contactless payments.
