Gwinnett County Public Library will reopen library branches June 22 after closing this spring in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

Curbside pickup will continue to be available at the branches. They will be open the same hours as curbside pickup: from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Saturdays and from noon to 5 p.m. Sundays.

Not all amenities will be available at the branches. All learning labs, meeting and conference rooms and quiet rooms will remain closed. Open Access at the Lawrenceville and Suwanee branches will not be available. Some furniture will be taped off, some computers will be unavailable and social distancing measures will be in place for the health and safety of staff and patrons.

Additionally, computer sessions will be limited to one hour with no renewals.

Library staff will be wearing masks and gloves. Patrons are also urged to wear masks.
