Durham, NC – Beginning Tuesday, May 4, 2021, Durham County Regional (East, North, South, and Southwest) and Branch (Bragtown and Stanford L. Warren) Libraries will be available at a limited capacity for one-hour walk-in visits to browse and check out materials or to use the computers. Face masks for ages two and older and screening at the door, including temperature checks, are required to enter.

Library Director Tammy Baggett-Best says, “Opening our doors is the product of months of careful planning with Durham County Department of Public Health and leaders across Durham County Government to ensure that appropriate measures are in place to safely offer these expanded library services.”

Hours of operation for regional and branch libraries are as follows:

Tuesday                               2–6 p.m.

Wednesday                        2–6 p.m.

Thursday                             3–7 p.m.

Friday                                    2–6 p.m.

Saturday                              10 a.m.–2 p.m.

Main Library will not be available for walk-in hours at this time but will continue to offer reservation-only Library Take-Out! service. Library Take-Out! hours at Main Library remain as follows:

Tuesday–Friday                11 a.m.–6 p.m.

Saturday                           10 a.m.–2 p.m.
