Denbighshire Libraries have launched a new digital initiative to support people who need space for private online appointments.
Open again following the lifting of
Covid-19 restrictions, all libraries in Denbighshire now house new solo digital
spaces, thanks to funding secured from the Welsh Government’s Cultural Recovery
Fund.
These rooms are private spaces kitted out
with laptops to enable residents to carry out confidential online appointments,
such as taking part in a job interview, a medical appointment or an online
meeting via Zoom or other platforms.
Cllr Tony Thomas, Lead Member for Housing
and Communities, said: “Our libraries have continued to provide an excellent
service to local residents throughout the last difficult 18 months.
“I am really pleased this great
initiative has been introduced to support our residents, especially as the
pandemic has seen a surge towards a more digital way of life for a lot of daily
communication.
“I want to also to thank library staff
for their continued hard work and commitment in providing a vital service to
our communities.
As Covid-19 restrictions have been
reduced, Denbighshire residents are reminded that they can now visit their
local library to browse, choose and return books without an appointment.
They will still need to make an
appointment to use a library computer, book a study space and to access One
Stop Shop services by phoning their local library.
Libraries are a safe place to visit with
plenty of room for social distancing, limited numbers of people in at any time,
and hand and equipment sanitiser available.
The solo digital spaces can be booked for
use by contacting the library nearest to you by visiting https://www.denbighshire.gov.uk/en/leisure-and-tourism/libraries/libraries.aspx
