Good news for Library users - an Order and Collect service is being set up. The idea is that the Library user fills in a form with details of the sort of books they are looking for, and the staff hand pick a selection for them. Library users can phone on 01597 827460 or fill the form in online at https://en.powys.gov.uk/orderandcollect
Ten books at a time can be requested, and if the staff can't find the exact book the Library user is looking for, they'll find the closest substitute that they can. Books are quarantined for 72 hours before collection and after return. With the help of volunteers, they also have a delivery service for people who are shielding at home.
They also have an ebook and eaudiobook download service, which are free during lockdown.
Hay is not yet one of the libraries in this scheme - the nearest library taking part is Brecon.

How sad to read how behind the times Powys is, yet again. Libraries elsewhere have been doing this for many weeks & are now opening up for people to browse the shelves again.
