We've missed seeing you!

It has been a while since we last saw you in person. We are excited to be opening our doors again and welcoming you back to our Library branches. Throughout COVID-19 related closures, Halifax Public Libraries has been working towards what a new normal will look like for Library service. Our communities have shifted and adapted over the past few months. When you come to visit us again, expect things at your local Library branch to be a little different. No matter the changes or how you choose to visit the Library—whether in-person or online— we're here for you, every step of the way.

All branches of Halifax Public Libraries are open and offering in-person services specific to their location. Click here for branch-specific information and opening dates.

Currently, we are in Stage Two of the Library service plan.

What is available in Stage Two:

Opening of all branches for in-person services (As of July 2020)

Ability to place new holds on physical items

Curbside Pick-up

Virtual Library programs

Online resources through our E-Library

All Book Drops open

The health and safety of our community and staff is our top priority. The Library will make the decision to move to the next stage in our service plan based off recommendations and updates from Public Health.
