Holiday closure at Okanagan Regional Library branches

All 29 branches of the Okanagan Regional Library will begin their annual holiday closure period beginning Wednesday, December 23 and will resume their normal operating hours on Saturday, January 2, 2016.

As of Wednesday, December 2, the three-week loan period for physical items such as books, CDs and magazines was extended to five weeks to ensure borrowers could keep their items over the closure.

One-week loans such as “Quick Reads” and feature film DVDs will be available for a three-week period starting Sunday, December 13.

Loan periods will revert back to normal when branches reopen in the new year. If unsure, anyone can check due dates of their items by logging into their online account.

Book bins will be closed during this time; please do not return items until the library is open in 2016.

The website, including the ORL’s catalogue and all digital resources, will continue to be accessible 24/7 throughout the branch closure.
