As COVID-19 pandemic restrictions lift throughout Phoenix, the Phoenix Public Library has announced the end to curbside service and is expanding hours at 16 branches next week.
Phoenix libraries closed in March 2020 as part of the city’s efforts to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the early days of the pandemic. Two months later, they initiated curbside service, allowing patrons to pick up materials reserved online.
Face masks are no longer required for library visitors who are fully vaccinated, the city also recently announced.
Here are the expanded hours that will go into effect Monday:
Burton Barr:
9 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday, Friday and Saturday
9 a.m.-7 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
1 p.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday
Agave, Cesar Chavez, Cholla, Desert Broom, Ironwood, Juniper, Mesquite, Palo Verde, Saguaro and Yucca:
