Important update about libraries during lockdown from 5 November

  • In line with government guidance, all libraries will be closed from Thursday 5 November.
  • All loans have been extended to January 2021

In line with government guidance, all libraries will be closed from Thursday 5 November.

We are investigating the possibility of operating across a limited number of branches a Click & Collect service in addition to some limited access to our public network PCs.

Further information will follow as soon as possible.

All loans have been extended to January 2021

Please note that we have extended all current library loans so that no books/items will be due back during the new lockdown which begins on 5 November. This applies to all existing loans including those taken out before April, which were due back this week.

This means that you do NOT need to return or renew your loans, contrary to what we said in our email of 21 October.

Loans will be extended to January 2021 and may be extended further. Please be reassured we will give plenty of notice before reintroducing fines, and no fines will be applied as a result of lockdown or individual circumstances if you are unable to return loans.

With thanks for your continued support,
Oxfordshire Libraries
