Covid safety precautions
The Gosall Library, based in Preston, is still open and available for all Trust staff to use between the hours of 9am to 4:30pm Monday to Friday.
In light of the pandemic, we have made some small changes to ensure everyone’s safety:
Please wear your face mask when entering the Library and use the hand sanitiser provided on entry, before and after looking at books and on exit.

Protective barriers have been put in place, not only on our Library reception desk, but also within the hot-desking and computer area, allowing you to work in a safe environment.

We also have calming and reflective areas for you to take some time out to read an article, take some time to yourself or improve your mindfulness with our colouring board.
