Womelsdorf Community Library

Dear Patrons,

As Berks County gradually reopens by Governor Wolf’s orders, we are doing everything we can to ensure the safety and health of staff, patrons, and those who would need what the library can offer. That being said, we will not open our doors to patron access on June 26th, 2020, as we are still preparing the library for our staff and patrons’ safety.

On Friday, July 3rd, we will begin taking computer reservations. Computer sessions of thirty minutes will be permitted, and only one session per patron may be reserved per day. Patrons may call ahead at 610-589-1424, or email us at womelsdorfcl@berks.lib.pa.us. Once your time-slot is confirmed, you may come to the library and use the computer for thirty minutes at your scheduled time. Patrons must wear a mask at all times. Computers One, Five, and Ten will be the only computers open for use.

We will continue to take reserves for lobby pick-up through this time. To reserve an item, please call ahead at 610-589-1424, or email us at womelsdorfcl@berks.lib.pa.us, and check if the item is in our collection. If it is available, we will reserve it for you and schedule a fifteen minute pick-up window with you. Phone requests will be taken during the following hours:

Monday Through Thursday: 12pm-4pm

Friday: 4pm-8pm

Saturday: 12pm-4pm

On July 10th, the library plans to open for patron access. Patrons may enter the library while wearing a mask, unless you cannot wear a mask due to a medical condition. If a patron does not have a mask, fabric masks will be provided for them. Patrons may browse the collection, while maintaining social distance, and interact with staff at the circulation desk through a sneeze guard.

This information is subject to change as the situation develops. If changes to our planned reopening are made, we will keep you informed. Thank you for your patience.
