[ARCHIVED] Reservations @ South County Library

Reopening South County

Roanoke County Public Library (RCPL) is planning to reopen four of its buildings this fall. South County Library, the largest and most used location in the system, will re-open first, with a projected date of Monday, September 28. Hollins, Glenvar, and Vinton Libraries are slated to reopen over the following several weeks as buildings are prepared and staff rehired.

South County will be open by reservation for County residents, Monday through Saturday from 10:00am-5:00pm, with visitors not to exceed 25% normal occupancy. Patrons may make reservations for one hour time slots starting September 23 via the library’s website, roanokecountyva.gov/library, or by calling at 540-772-7507. The library will close for cleaning from 1:00pm-2:00pm each day.

Upon arrival, patrons will receive information about the new protocols. Masks are required for anyone over three years-old, and will be available for free at the library, along with hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes.

  • Meeting rooms and other enclosed spaces will remain closed.
  • On-site programming will be limited to outdoors with social distancing requirements. For a list of upcoming events, please visit the library’s website.
