Beginning Monday in select grab-and-go locations, patrons will also be able to browse shelves for a set period of time and make appointments to use desktop computers.<\/p>\n
Additionally, in The New York Public Library system, patrons can request an appointment to access collections at research centers, including the Stephen A. Schwarzman Building on 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue.<\/p>\n
All patrons in all systems must follow safety protocols, including wearing masks, social distancing, and respecting time limits to ensure that as many patrons as possible can utilize services.<\/p>\n
While the library systems are closely monitoring circumstances in the city, libraries expect to add computer use and browsing to all of their grab-and-go locations in the coming weeks and then incrementally open locations until they are all open by mid-July.<\/p>\n
They are also planning to provide a suite of outdoor programs and continued virtual programs, classes, vaccination resources and more.<\/p>\n
