Re-opening of libraries during the Covid-19 pandemic

Library materials will be accepted at the entrance of each library for quarantining. Library patrons will not be allowed inside the library. Patrons will be offered a “call and collect” service for library materials they wish to borrow.
All public are advised that masks must be worn at all times and they will be required to have their temperatures taken and complete a contact tracing register.
All libraries will be open for this service with the exception of Allanridge, Chatty, Kwamagxaki, and Motherwell Libraries due to vandalism. North End Library is closed at present due to a Covid-19 case, but should open on 19 November.

WeatherSA - 17 - 19 November
We can expect some nice rainfall over the province over the next 3 days with a total of around 20 mm expected over the NMBM and its main catchment.
Along the Garden route, that figure could be between 40 and 60 mm
The north eastern parts of the province (former Transkei) could see figures exceeding 70 mm caused by thundershower activity
This is not a drought-breaking rainfall event so the public must continue to use water sparingly
