Lambton County Library suspends in-person appointments due to lockdown

Lambton County Library is suspending all in-person appointments for computer and Wi-Fi use, and academic study starting Saturday.

The action is being taken in response to the province-wide lockdown that runs from December 26 until January 23, 2021.

A news release from the county's cultural services division said all appointments that have already been booked between those dates will be cancelled.

All services, including curbside pickup, will be suspended at the Brigden and Grand Bend libraries effective Saturday and the locations will be closed until Saturday, January 11, 2021 in keeping with school closure orders. Book return bins at the two locations will remain open, despite the closure.

Vehicle and pedestrian outdoor curbside pickup will remain available at 14 library locations but indoor access to all libraries is no longer permitted, in compliance with provincial legislation.

The Sarnia Library Theatre will remain available to rent by individuals and community organizations for digital recordings and to broadcast live performances with safety guidelines in effect. The capacity of performers on stage will drop to ten people beginning Saturday.
