The King County Library System is reopening five locations to the public at reduced capacity with adjusted in-building services, bringing the total to 11 reopened libraries across the county.

Snoqualmie Library reopens Tuesday, April 6, followed by the Enumclaw, Federal Way 320th and Woodinville libraries reopening for in-building services Wednesday, April 7.

Some reopened libraries will provide both in-person and hybrid services, however the Federal Way 320th location is no longer offering curbside pickup.

Visitors are welcome on a first-come, first-served basis to operate between 25-50% capacity. Masks are required and libraries hour are limited in order to allow for cleaning times.

“It has been wonderful to see patrons inside our libraries once again,” said KCLS Executive Director Lisa Rosenblum. “We hope you enjoy reconnecting with staff and services, and we thank you for your patience as we work to reopen more locations.”
