Good news! Libraries to open up to more visitors soon

Monday 25 October 2021

As Victorians enjoy increased freedoms in the coming weeks, we are looking forward to taking the next steps in our own COVID roadmap.

From 6pm Friday 29 October, we can welcome more people into our libraries, if they are fully vaccinated. In line with Victorian Government requirements, any library visitors aged 16 years and above will need to show proof of vaccination to enter our spaces. Proof of vaccination can be provided via the Services Victoria app, or a physical vaccination certificate.

In the coming weeks, capacity limits will increase further and we’ll return to some in-person programming.

For those who are unable to show a vaccination certificate, our huge range of eCollections remain available to you, as does our Click & Collect service.

We know there’s a lot to navigate, and we’re here to help. Our staff can assist you to link your vaccination certificate to your Services Victoria app. Please visit or call your local branch.

To find out about how COVID-19 is impacting our services at this time, please visit our dedicated Coronavirus webpage.

Still need to get your vaccination? COVID-19 vaccination is free and available locally. Book online at Barwon Health or by phoning 1800 675 398.
