The Salem Public Library will reopen for browsing at its temporary location, 1400 Broadway St. N.E, on Tuesday, July 6 now that Oregon’s pandemic restrictions have lifted.

Library patrons will once again be able to browse library shelves and use the computer. The building has been closed to the public since last March.

The library’s curbside service program, which allowed patrons to pick up holds by appointment, ends on July 3.

The library will be open Tuesday through Thursday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.

The main library is undergoing a seismic retrofit and is expected to reopen in September.
