Starting Friday, Jan. 21, open hours will be temporarily reduced at most locations of The Seattle Public Library due to staffing shortages related to the current surge of COVID-19 cases in our community. We are making these temporary reductions to provide more consistent and reliable operating hours for Library patrons.
Starting Friday, Jan. 21, Library locations will operate on the schedule listed below. Book drops will remain open on days that locations are scheduled to be closed. This temporary schedule was created based on factors such as geographic spread, neighborhood usage, and staffing availability in the region.
Please visit and bookmark spl.org/today, which we update daily with information about unexpected closures and schedule changes.

COVID precautions
The Library continues to take many precautions to protect our patrons, staff and the community from the spread of COVID-19. We are a fully vaccinated workforce, and we require masks for everyone in our libraries, regardless of vaccination status.
We provide high-quality masks free of charge to patrons and visitors at all locations and provide a variety of masks, shields and other protective equipment to staff. We also require that staff maintain six feet of distance from patrons and each other in public areas and have increased the ventilation in our buildings, using higher-rated air filters in comparison to our pre-pandemic operations.
Finally, any Library patron can request Curbside service on an individual basis for pickup of their holds: Just call your branch’s phone number – found on signs at your branch or on our Hours & Locations page on spl.org – to let staff know you have arrived and need assistance with your holds pickup. We can bring your items to your vehicle or another nearby location.
Thank you for doing your part to protect others in your community.
