In less than two weeks, the Topeka and Shawnee County Public Library will begin a phased reopening of its facilities. Phase one of the library’s reopening plan will begin on May 18, according to a news release Thursday from the library’s communications director. Though the library will not open to the public on that date, it will begin accepting book returns, and the Engroff Eats food truck will be in the library’s parking lot to offer food normally served at the in-house Millennium Cafe. According to the news release, the library also won’t charge late fees on any items checked out in 2020. Phase two of the library’s reopening is scheduled to begin on May 26. At that point, the library will offer curbside pickup of books and DVDs. Library patrons will be able to pick up reserved items 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday and noon to 6 p.m. on Sundays.
