SINGAPORE - All public libraries will reduce their operating capacity to 25 per cent and cut dwelling times to minimise the spread of Covid-19 in the community. All physical programmes, including tours, will also be suspended at public libraries and the National Archives of Singapore, said the National Library Board (NLB) in a statement on Saturday (May 15). The measures take effect from Sunday and will last until June 13, in line with the tightening of Covid-19 rules as community cases continue to rise. NLB had previously tightened measures from May 8. The current operating capacity will be halved to 25 per cent across the National Library and all 26 public libraries, the National Archives of Singapore and the Former Ford Factory.
