All Essex County Council libraries will be closed for a period of up to three months in response to the coronavirus situation. The closure took place on (Friday 20 March).
The Government’s current advice with regard to the COVID-19 epidemic is for the population of the United Kingdom to practise social distancing by minimising contact with other people and for people to work at home if possible to reduce social contact. This temporary closure of the library service will assist with the implementation of this advice and protect the staff and customers.
