Libraries in the Bay Area are starting to open again. For a year I've been trying to pick books out online, order them, wait for them, and then stand in line at the designated hour to pick them up. Yesterday I went to the Redwood City Library and browsed among all the new titles which have been added while we weren't looking. Here's a rundown of what's open or soon to open.
We’re so excited to welcome you back to San Mateo County Libraries and reopen our doors with limited in-library services. All of our communities will have in-library Express Service, which includes computer and printing access, browsing and checking out items, picking up holds.
These services are the next step in a careful, phased approach to safely re-instituting library offerings, access, and exploration! After a year of connecting with you digitally through virtual programs, online resources, and remote services, we are excited to welcome you back to your community library. https://smcl.org
