Franklin Libraries Re-Open On May 3

/by

Franklin County’s library system will be open to the public beginning on Monday, May 3. Library Director Holt Kornegay released information Monday about the re-opening, schedules at the four branches and modified services that await patrons upon their return.

Visitors to the library will have full access to the stacks, information stations, microfilm, as well as the computer workstation area and a touchless self-checkout process.

All patrons must wear a mask at all times and physical distancing should be maintained, which means that a limited number of computers will be available for use at each location.

Library staff at the service desk will continue to provide full service to assist library patrons.

The meeting rooms, however, remain closed at this time.

All branches will be open Monday through Friday, according to Kornegay. The Louisburg and Youngsville branches will be open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. and the Franklinton and Bunn locations will be open from noon to 7 p.m.

Kornegay noted a couple of changes that have taken place, including the following:

  • Donations of materials are not being accepted for now
  • All print and fax requests will end at 6:30 p.m., as well as any other financial transactions
  • Items won’t be quarantined or disinfected upon return, based on recent science-based evidence that indicates a low probability of transmission
  • Holds at the circulation desk are available for seven (7) days before returning to general circulation

The Franklin County Library, through its partnership with NC Cardinal, is improving your library services. During the month of February, Franklin County Library Branches will be closed as noted below to implement these improvements:

 Franklinton – February 3-5, 2020

 Bunn – February 6-10, 2020

 Youngsville – February 11-14, 2020

 Louisburg – February 17-21, 2020

All NC Cardinal Resource Sharing transits to and from the libraries will be paused between February 3- 14, 2020.

The result of these updates will be modern library circulation standards and a more seamless integration of local and NC Cardinal Data. Self-check will be available in all Franklin County branches after these upgrades. Throughout the process, book drops will be checked regularly so that materials can be returned on schedule.
