Libraries in East Devon are gearing up to respond to the government’s roadmap out of lockdown.
The latest information on borrowing changes coming into effect over the summer is as follows:
Loans from June 7 will revert to standard loan periods (three weeks for books and one week for DVDs)
You can borrow up to 24 books and from July 1 the number of loans will change to 20 books.
Reservation charges will recommence on July 1. Account limit reverts to £5 from July 1.
Bosses stress that library services are Covid-secure and contactless. The government’s messaging has moved from “stay at home” to “stay local”.
