When the Palliser Regional Library and the Moose Jaw Public Library first launched its curbside pickup model for lending materials, patrons were limited to borrowing items that were within the Palliser library region — but not anymore.
Effective July 6, patrons are now able to request any materials available in libraries across the province, using the online catalogue and the library’s pickup service.
This makes hundreds of thousands of additional materials available to patrons, while the Moose Jaw Public Library remains closed to the public for the time being.
Book returns are also open and in full swing, and materials for the at-a-distance summer reading program are being released on both the MJPL’s Facebook page and the Palliser Regional Library’s Facebook page.
Opening material lending across the province is the last part of step two in the seven-step reopening plan for the Palliser library region. The next step will involve opening the library stacks to appointments and the possible launch of outdoor programming, with target dates yet to be determined.
