The Vancouver Public Library's central location and four branches are getting set to reopen after four months of closure caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. "I am grateful that the collective efforts of our community in fighting COVID-19 have allowed us to safely reopen." Takeout services will expand throughout the summer, with the goal of seeing all branches reopen in September. "We want to thank everyone for their support and patience as we gradually reopen," chief librarian Christina de Castell said. All libraries have been closed since March 16 to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
