FOR the moment, it will only be for returns, and from May 25 books can be borrowed on request. Over the last week, library staff have been reorganising the premises, establishing the protective measures necessary. And the reopening will be done in phases. From today, Monday 18 to May 22, the library will be open from 9am to 2pm, for loan returns, given the large volume of books not returned due to the State of Alarm. All books returned will then be quarantined for 14 days. From next Monday, May 25, the opening hours will be from 9am to 2pm, Monday to Friday, when books can be borrowed by calling 965 891 698 or emailing biblioteca@villajoyosa.com. The book loan period has been increased to 30 days. If after one day books requested have not been collected, they will be loaned out again. Free access and movement of users of the library will not be allowed and only one person can enter the building at a time, keeping the security distance. Until further notice, the reading room, study room, children’s room, use of public computer equipment and other activities are off limits.
