Curbside Pickup

Here's how it works:
  • Place your order by calling or use the online form at the bottom of this page.
  • We will notify you when your materials are ready.
  • Call when you get to the library and park along side the library ramp in the municipal parking lot. (Curbside pickup signs are posted.) Meet us at the landing of the side steps of the ramp. We will bring your items out to you. 

Please keep in mind:
  • If you are returning books, please place in the outdoor book returns. 
  • Please do not spray your library books with sanitizing sprays. This damages the materials.

  • We will make every effort to fulfill your request based on item availability. 
  • A Library staff member will gather the requested materials, put them in a bag, and label it with your last name.
