January 10, 2022 3:46 p.m.

To help slow the spread of COVID-19, the Pico Branch Library, 2201 Pico Blvd., will temporarily suspend personal branch service and resume roadside collection starting Tuesday, January 11, 2022.

The Main Library will continue to provide personal library services to the Santa Monica community. Customers also have access to curb service on the Montana Avenue Branch and contactless self-service on the Ocean Park Branch.

The Santa Monica Public Library will continue to follow all state and local COVID-19 health guidelines. Due to the increase in the Omicron variant and the personnel capacity, there may be effects on library operations and library services. All future effects will continue to be communicated to library users and the Santa Monica community.
