Planning under way for reopening of City facilities
Planning is under way for the reopening of City facilities from Monday 18 May.
In line with the State Government announcement of the WA roadmap and the easing of restrictions for phase two, the libraries and a number of other facilities will reopen from Monday following COVID safe guidelines.
Attendance at all City facilities will be limited to a maximum of 20 people at one time and all visitors and participants will be required to practise social distancing and good personal hygiene.
Manning and South Perth libraries
The libraries will re-open on Monday 18 May for loans and returns.
Whilst we settle into a new way of working under the current restrictions, we ask that customers keep browsing time to a minimum to allow more people to take the libraries reopening. Assistance will be available to help customers locate and select items quickly.
Three PCs will be available in each library for public use with restricted session times.
The returns shute will be open 24/7.
There will be no face to face programs running, however we still offer a wide range of online options.
