[PHOTO STORY] Saint Paul Public Libraries develop new safety precautions

Ali Browne, Staff Writer|April 19, 2021

Following the closing of the Highland Park Library early in the pandemic, new policies have been implemented that allow guests to visit the library and seek out books in-person.

In addition to in-library regulations, books placed on hold are held on the pickup shelves for extended periods of time, and due dates have been prolonged to make reading and the check-out process easy and accessible for all.

To place books on hold and read more about public libraries during the pandemic, visit the SPPL Website.
