Please note that due to a positive COVID-19 case at Barwon Heads Primary School, the Barwon Heads Library will be closed today (Tuesday 19 October) as a precaution and thoroughly cleaned to required standards. The library will reopen at the normal time on Friday, pending any further advice from the Government.
We’re not aware of anyone who has tested positive for COVID-19 visiting the library during their infectious period. We will continue liaise with the school and the DHHS, monitor the situation and prioritise the health and safety of our staff and community.
Thank you for your understanding.
