-You can do short errands, pick up books, read the newspaper and you can use our computers for a short time.

It is a maximum of 15 minutes you can be in here, says Hanna Lidström, head of the libraries in Luleå.

No meeting place anymore

All of Luleå's public libraries were closed on Wednesday and Thursday so that staff could have time to adjust to the extended restrictions.

The libraries have reduced the number of seats and sign up properly with information.

You will also develop your take-away business and bookcases for collection.

-Based on the stricter general guidelines, one should refrain from visiting indoor environments where congestion may occur. But we still want open libraries because it is an important function in society. That is why we are open, but right now it is not a meeting or study place, says Hanna Lidström.
