County libraries re-opening June 22
Seven smallest branches have been closed since March of 2020
–Beginning Tuesday, June 22, all County of San Luis Obispo Public Libraries will offer services at all 14 locations.
The Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, Cambria, Los Osos, Morro Bay, Nipomo, and San Luis Obispo libraries will continue to be open Tuesday through Saturday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. The Cayucos, Oceano, and Shandon libraries will be open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, 9 a.m. – 5 p.m., with a half-hour lunch closure at 1 p.m.
The Creston, San Miguel, Santa Margarita, and Shell Beach libraries will be open Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, from 12:30-5 p.m.
The library’s seven smallest branches have been closed since March of 2020, as staff were deployed as disaster service workers to support the County Public Health Department’s COVID-19 testing sites, call centers, and contact tracing teams.
“We look forward to connecting with folks in our smaller libraries again,” said Erica Thatcher, engagement and marketing coordinator. “We’ve sincerely missed our neighborhood branches.”
Per state and county health guidelines, furniture in the branches will be arranged for social distancing, and unvaccinated patrons will be asked to wear face coverings. Visit SLOLibrary.org for more information about visiting the library and for service updates.
