The Saskatoon Public Library (SPL) is pausing in-person services at two branches while it makes changes to improve safety.
The SPL posted on its website that the Frances Morrison Central and Dr. Freda Ahenakew branches have moved to contactless services until Feb. 28.
“We are pausing in-library services at these locations while we make operational changes that support our goal to provide a safe, harassment-free environment for our patrons and employees,” the SPL statement said.
The SPL release did not indicate whether a specific incident sparked the decision to temporarily restrict public access.
In the meantime, hold pickups, grab-and-go bags, faxing, scanning and printing services will be available.
Library hours will be 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday, and 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Sunday.
