Step Two - Get notified
Once your reserves are placed, library staff will go to work grabbing all of your items. If you've provided us with an email address, you will receive an email notification telling you that items are ready for pickup. If we have no email on file for you, we'll give you a call when you have items ready.
Step Three - Pick up your items
Staff will check requested items out to your card and place them in a paper bag labeled with your first name and last initial. Bags will be placed on a shelf outside our main entrance for you to pick up during curbside hours.
At the end of each curbside day, bags will be brought back inside, and will be made available again on the next curbside day. To protect our materials from weather damage, bags will only be outside and available to pick up during curbside hours.
