KING COUNTY, Wash. — Some King County libraries have reopened after offering only curbside pickup for nearly a year.
Six branches reopened Wednesday morning – Kent, Fall City, Muckleshoot, Skykomish, Tukwila and Woodmont.
The King County Library System said Kent, Tukwila and Woodmont libraries will be open for in-building service while Fall City, Muckleshoot and Skykomish libraries will offer a hybrid model.
“The health and safety of staff and visitors remains our top priority as we take the next step in reopening,” stated KCLS Executive Director Lisa Rosenblum. “While KCLS continues to serve our communities both online and in person, we have been carefully planning for your return into library buildings, and we are looking forward to welcoming you back.”
Visitors will be admitted on a first-come, first-served basis and staff will ensure that occupancy levels do not exceed 25% of building capacity.
Masks are required and libraries will be open for one hour at a time, followed by an hour of cleaning.
