Bucks County Free Library (BCFL) is reopening one step at a time.
Library book drops are open and users can return library materials.
Curbside pickup began Monday, June 22, and the seven branches will
reopen on Monday, July 6.
Users can request items for curbside pickup by placing a hold in the
library’s catalog or calling their branch. BCFL will let users know by
email when holds are available for pickup. After a user receives their
email notification, they can head to their branch and park in one of the
spots designated for curbside pickup, where their items will be brought
out to them. Curbside pickup will continue for users’ convenience even
after BCFL opens its doors.
Details on how the service works are available at
buckslib.org/curbside.
BCFL branches will open to the public on Monday, July 6, at 75%
capacity. The library’s collections will be available for browsing and
checkouts. Computers and seating areas will be available. Library users
will be required to wear masks and practice social distancing while in
the library.
Because the amount of equipment is limited to accommodate social
distancing, all libraries will be limiting computer sign-ups to one hour
per person per day.
Branch hours will be: Monday−Thursday — 10 a.m.−7 p.m.; Friday — 10 a.m.−6 p.m.; Saturday — 9 a.m.−5 p.m.
The Doylestown branch will be open extended hours: Monday−Thursday — 10
a.m.−8 p.m.; Friday — 9 a.m.−6 p.m.; Saturday — 9 a.m.−5 p.m. To see
hours for District member libraries, visit
buckslib.org/locations.
As directed by the Pennsylvania Office of Commonwealth Libraries, BCFL
has adopted phased-in re-opening plans so the library can serve its
users safely. BCFL will follow all requirements set out by the
Commonwealth in its business orders for operational and building safety
as it reopens.
