Members receive a report of the Director of Community & Children’s Services relative to the phased reopening of the City’s lending libraries following the COVID-19 closures. It was noted that the target date to open all three lending libraries was 20 July 2020, subject to the approval of building risk assessments by the City Surveyor and, in the case of the Barbican Library, on the Barbican Centre having started its own phased reopening. Once open, there would be restricted usage of IT services, and study spaces and newspapers would not be available. Returned items would be quarantined for 72 hours.
