Following the Prime Minister’s statement on Friday about the new Omicron Covid variant and increased precautionary measures, Libraries Connected is working closely with DCMS to clarify how these will affect public library services.

We have now published new guidelines for libraries, based on the latest government guidance. These have been prepared based on consultation with Public Health England.

If you have any queries or observations that should inform our ongoing and future discussions with DCMS, please email them to info@librariesconnected.org.uk.
