When we will open?

We are pleased to announce that we are re-opening our libraries for public access under the current State Government three-step approach to lifting the COVID-19 restrictions across South Australia.

The Berri Library, because it is a joint use library that also services school clients from Glossop High School, will open for public access from 3.30pm in the afternoon of Friday 15th May.  As at 26th May, we were given permission from the Department for Education to open the Berri Library from 8.30am in the morning – this means we will revert to our normal opening hours from the morning of Wednesday 27th May 2020.

Our Barmera Library will open from 9.30am on Monday 18th May.

What will your revised opening hours be?

Our revised opening hours, at least to begin with, will look like this:

Berri Library* (from 15th – 26th May) Barmera Library
3.30pm – 5pm Monday
3.30pm – 5pm Tuesday
3.30pm – 5pm Wednesday

9.30am – 6.00pm Thursday
9.30am – 5.30pm Friday
9.00am – 12.00 noon Saturday
Sunday – Closed

*We are initially opening our Berri Library with reduced public library access hours as we share our library service with the Department for Education and are open to staff and students of Glossop High School from 8.30am – 3.20pm Monday to Friday. We are enforcing social distancing and other measures to keep library staff and all our customers safe. We will be taking advice from the State Government in regards to further extending our public library opening hours at a later date.

When will you revert to your normal opening hours?

Both our Berri and Barmera Library will revert to their normal opening hours from Wednesday 27th May.
