CREDITON Library staff were delighted to welcome customers back into the building on Monday, April 12.

Book browsing, photocopying and free one-hour computer access is available.

Choose and Collect is also still available for those customers who would prefer to continue with this service.

At present, Crediton Library’s opening hours are slightly adjusted in order to help maintain a covid-secure environment: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday: 10am – 12 noon and 2pm – 4pm, Saturday: 10am – 4pm.

All customers who enter the library are requested to wear a mask (unless exempt), maintain two metres from other customers and staff, sanitise their hands on entry and participate in Test and Trace.

Crediton Library respectfully ask customers to take along the exact change for printing or photocopying services to reduce cash handling.

The library is also required to reduce its building capacities and so, on occasion, customers may face a short wait to enter the library.

Crediton Library is the local Census Support Centre for this area. If you are not confident online, or do not have access to a computer or another IT device, you can get help from the library. Please contact the library on 01363 772578 to ask any questions or book a support appointment.

To assist their customers, Devon Libraries have put the following temporary arrangements in place:?

• Automatically renewed items that were due back before April 4 are now due back on June 28.?  

• Loan periods are extended to 10 weeks. 

• Reservation charges are temporarily suspended as items may take longer than usual to become available.?  

Devon Libraries’ digital library remains open; customers can download and stream free eBooks, Audiobooks, eMagazines and eNewspapers from their extensive collection.

Crediton Library is managed by Libraries Unlimited, the charity responsible for running Devon and Torbay Libraries.
