The Montgomery Floyd Regional libraries in Blacksburg, Christiansburg, Shawsville, and Floyd opened to the public on Thursday, April 8.
The libraries will continue to comply with all public health guidance and with the governor of Virginia’s Executive Order #72, which requires persons using public facilities to wear a face mask or other face covering.
All branches will be open regular hours and will have checkout, browsing, public WiFi, public computer use, and wireless printing. For persons needing to self-isolate, the libraries will continue to offer curbside pickup and Library Picks for You service. The libraries have also resumed passport and notary services.
Patrons are used to return all library items in the outside book drop. Overdue fines on materials for adults have been suspended since March 2020, and this will continue for now. Children’s items are always fine-free.
MFRL will resume some library programming in compliance with current occupancy limits. The programs are on the library’s Calendar of Events.
To prevent the spread of COVID-19, community rooms and study rooms are not available at this time. As the state further loosens its restrictions, the library staff hope to return to providing a fuller range of programming and community room throughout the spring.
