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 - Request curbside pickup
Once you receive your pickup notification, call us at 860-742-7606 to request curbside pickup and our staff will check your items out to you and place them outside for pickup. Then just come on down and grab the bag with your first name, last initial, and the last 3 digits of your card number.
Curbside pickup is only available during business hours. To protect from theft and weather, at the end of each day, all bags will be brought back inside, and will be made available again on the next business day. If not picked up within one week, your items will be checked back in and reshelved.
