During this stage, libraries are open for returns and borrowing only, with faxing, scanning, printing and copying (up to 10 pages only) available on request. All visitors will be asked to use the provided hand sanitiser before entering.
Public PCs, bathroom facilities, meeting rooms, face-to-face programs, events, study areas and extended visits will remain unavailable until it is safe to resume these activities.
Mudgee Library is open 10am-5pm, Monday to Friday; while Gulgong and Kandos Libraries are open their usual Monday to Friday hours; Rylstone Customer Service Centre and Library is undergoing a refurbishment and is expected to open in coming weeks.
Saturday openings have ceased until further notice. For the safety of our community and staff, all returned items will also be quarantined and sanitised before they're available for borrowing again.
Keep an eye on our Facebook page or website for all the latest news and updates.

Snowman season
All our registered Bookworm and Toddler Time attendees have recently been posted a kit to make their very own snowman at home.
Anyone else who is interested in this craft activity please pop into Mudgee Library to receive your free kit. An accompanying video has been uploaded to our Facebook page, which includes a snowman story and step-by-step instructions on making this craft.
The History Effect
The History Council of NSW has curated a series of online presentations called The History Effect, featuring historians speaking about contemporary issues and events, as well as research and professional development.
The most recent presentations are 'Spanish Flu - a mini-series of historians presenting histories of the Spanish Flu in Australia' and 'The Uluru Statement from the Heart: why and how truth-telling about our history matters'. The series can be viewed for free at historycouncilnsw.org.au/project/history-effect/.
