4. GET YOUR MATERIALS!
Masks are required to enter. Please use the hand sanitizer upon entry to the building. The grab and go pick-up area has moved for the winter season. Items can be picked up in the entry foyer of the side entrance. Place your returns into the designated container just outside the entry door.
ONLY 1 PERSON IN THE PICK-UP AREA AT A TIME. LOOK AND WAIT IF ANOTHER PERSON IS IN THE HALL WHEN YOU ARRIVE.
All bags will be labeled and placed in alphabetical order by last name. Please be mindful by double checking your name and to collect ONLY your bags. We will make every effort to include other information (first name & last four digits of phone number) for you to identify your bag. Please do not touch anyone else’s bagged order.
A doorbell is available for you to ask staff for assistance if needed.
STILL NEED ASSISTANCE? NO PROBLEM!
Curbside Services are still available for those who need it.
Our Curbside Pickup will no longer operate out of the shed but will be at our main entrance. We ask that you remain in your car and wait for staff to approach you. Staff may ask to see some form of I.D. (library card, drivers license, passport, or school ID) and will take your bagged returns at this time as well.
Staff will retrieve your bagged pickup order and will hand it to you or place it into your trunk, whichever you prefer. If you have labeled bags of returns in your trunk as well, staff will take those at this time and place them into the designated return bins.
As much as we miss you!! We ask that you not socialize with library staff or other patrons waiting in our curbside pickup area. We want to provide a safe pickup/ return of materials for everyone. This happens through quick interactions and timely flow of services.
