You will soon be able to return library books, or pick up.

Thunder Bay’s public library says after a short closure due to COVID-19, the Waverley and Mary J.L. Black libraries will open for no contact, Monday to Friday, from 10 o’clock until 4 in the afternoon.

All libraries were closed recently after an employee tested positive for the virus.

Thunder Bay’s District Health Unit suggested employees get tested, while the library asked its employees to do so. There is no word yet on how any of that testing may have gone.
