<h2>Library services review</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Following extensive research and engagement a new model for the library service has been developed to increase opening hours at nine of our libraries and provide an outreach service. As a result of these changes, four libraries have now closed. Click <a href="https://www.croydon.gov.uk/libraries-leisure-and-culture/libraries/library-service-review" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> to find out more about the new service model and what happens next.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Self-service opening</h2>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We are now operating self-service opening hours at Selsdon and Norbury libraries using Open+ technology to enable library members to borrow books and access facilities outside the usual opening hours.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Usual services are available during self-service hours - members can borrow, renew and return items, collect reservations, and use a computer or WiFi to access the internet, eBooks or other online resources. Security measures are in place and CCTV is in operation for the safety of visitors.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Self-service opening is available to all adults aged 18 and over and young people from 16 years old can register with parental consent. Children under 16 must be accompanied by a registered parent or guardian during self-service hours.</p>
<p>You will need to register at either library in order to use the service. Click <a href="https://libraries.croydon.gov.uk/digital-content/locations" target="_blank" aria-invalid="true" rel="noopener">here</a> for operating times and further details</p>
