Libraries
Announcement
DROYLSDEN Library is all set to turn a new page. The Manchester Road building is now open in its new home, the smart, modern surroundings of next-door Guardsman Tony Downes House. The move follows a month-long consultation which took place earlier this year and takes in all the recommendations and priorities outlined by the public.
Announcement
Following the lifting of the majority of restrictions from the 19 July 2021, Tameside Library Service has made important, positive, changes supportive to those using/wishing to use the service. We are pleased to announce that Saturday opening will be restored to Denton and Hyde Libraries from Saturday 18 September 2021.
Over the coming weeks the following furtherAnn changes will be made:-
- Events and activities will start to be re-introduced to venues, likewise the use of meeting rooms
- Open+ operating hours at libraries will be re-instated but customers will be asked to sanitise PCs before/after use
Coronavirus has not gone away and we need to be mindful of both customer and staff safety. For this reason some measures will remain in place such as hand sanitiser at entrances, Perspex screens round the library counters. Staff will continue to wear facemasks when not behind a Perspex screen and we encourage our customers to wear face coverings whilst in the library. Our staff will continue to social distance to 1 metre and will continue to undertake the cleaning of PCs between users. Whilst there is no requirement to collect test and trace information QR codes will be available for customers to scan, or paper slips are available for people to leave their details if they wish.
For anyone unable to visit a library, or who chooses not to do so, the full range of digital services remains in place including e-books, e-audio books, digital magazines and newspapers, and other online resources. Customers can manage their library account online, including renewing any items, managing reservations, and changing personal details. There is also a telephone enquiry service and renewals can be made over the phone.
