The county library system said the libraries set to reopen are part of a phased reopening plan that prioritizes library openings based on geographic location, building availability, and the ability to accommodate physical distance guidelines and public health protocols.
The libraries will be reopened at 75% capacity, while maintaining six feet of physical distance for patrons as part of an effort to ensure that safety protocols are met and appropriate preventative measures are in place, officials said.
The county library's Antelope Valley Bookmobile, Santa Clarita Valley Bookmobile and Urban Outreach Bookmobile will also reopen for limited services at select stops beginning June 7.
