LIBRARY services in Inverclyde have changed due to the tighter coronavirus restrictions.

The ‘Connect & Collect’ offering is being temporarily suspended.

Customers are instead urged to take advantage of ‘Books on Wheels’ deliveries, to avoid people leaving their household unnecessarily.

While libraries remain closed due to the current lockdown, there are e-books and audio books available online via the ‘Borrow Box’ scheme.

Materials can also be delivered to children, young people and families who need them.

The council says the current situation will be monitored and reviewed on a regular basis with services reinstated as soon as it is safe to do so.
