Library: subscribers will have access to the shelves as of February 11

Deux-Montagnes, February 8, 2021 – After several weeks of banning access to the shelves, the Deux-Montagnes Library is pleased to reopen the shelving to its subscribers as of Thursday, February 11, 2021.

In order to comply with current health measures, the maximum capacity will be 40 people at a time and subscribers will not be able to read inside the library. Tables and computers will be available, but by reservation (more details on the reservation procedure below).

Also, it should be noted that the opening hours have been revised in order to align with the current 8 p.m. curfew: the library will close at 7 p.m. instead of 8 p.m., Monday to Friday.

However, the take-out service remains in operation. Subscribers can still reserve documents through the library catalog  (My File button) or by phone (450 473-2796, option 5) during opening hours. They will receive a call when their documents are ready to be picked up at the counter.

RETURN OF DOCUMENTS

Subscribers should continue to use the exterior book drop (located to the right of the front door) to return the documents. Due to the quarantine upon their return, for a minimum of 24 hours, there will be a delay between the return date and when they are removed from the subscriber’s file.
