As recently announced by the Victorian Government, restrictions in Melbourne are being extended. For details on the restrictions in place, please visit the Coronavirus Victoria website.
Please wear a mask whenever you leave home, unless a medical exemption applies. Please get tested if you notice any symptoms, no matter how mild. If you visit any of our branches, it is mandatory that you check in using the QR code in place. Follow the rules and instructions provided by the Government, so we can keep the community protected, as we open up again.
Changes to YPRL services
Due to the COVID-19 restrictions currently in place, the Outreach Vehicle and the Diamond Valley Click & Collect service will remain closed at this time. However, all other YPRL branches will still be open for Click & Collect only. We will close early, at 7.00pm, Monday – Thursday (Whittlesea will close at 5.00pm Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and 7.00pm on Wednesday).
Our 24/7 return chutes will remain open and all holds and item due dates have been extended until after restrictions end. However, we've had some reports of issues with this, if you find that you are unable to borrow an item when you go to pick it up, or notice a title drop off your reservation list, please call your local branch and we will do our best to fix this for you. Users may continue to place holds on the collection in preparation for our reopening.
At this time, all in person programs and events have been cancelled.
