SANTA MONICA—The city of Santa Monica announced on its website that the Montana Branch began offering self-service hours on Tuesday, July 9, via Open+, a comprehensive self-service model that provides controlled access to the library.
Community members who are pre-approved will be able to access the branch with a swipe of their Santa Monica Public Library Card on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. – noon. Self-service hours allow users to pick up items on reserve, use the library space, access materials and resources, and use an internet computer.
Library patrons who sign the Self-Service Hours Application and Agreement, available online and at full-service locations, can scan their Library card at the entrance to gain access to the building. Registration to use the self-service locations is required. Patrons who have already registered for Fairview Branch or Ocean Park Branch self-service access do not need to register again.
