The Sacramento Public Library announced it will be reopening 21 locations to the public starting February 9.
In a press release, the library system said those 21 locations will be open for browsing with limited occupancy.
Throughout the pandemic, the libraries have been offering curbside service for patrons to check out and return books. People can still choose to use the curbside option and make one-hour computer appointments at 20 locations.
In addition to limited capacity, the Sacramento Public Library is also requiring all patrons and staff to wear face masks during their stay in the libraries. Patrons will also have to observe all signage and markers that will allow for social distancing.
