STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. The New York Public Library (NYPL) is launching expanded service across its locations rolling out computer reservations and limited browsing at select grab-and-go branches.
The expanded services come as the NYPL works to slowly open its branches after shuttering in March 2020 to prevent the spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19).
In addition to a robust suite of virtual programs and resources, including e-books, online storytimes, virtual book clubs, and remote homework help, resume assistance, and job search help, the libraries began offering grab-and-go book pickup and on-site library card sign-up in July 2020.
Members of The New York Public Library, Queens Public Library and Brooklyn Public Library can browse the shelves for set periods of time, and make appointments to use the computers at over 50 branches beginning May 10, officials said on Thursday. All patrons must continue to wear masks, social distance and follow other Covid-19 safety measures.
