Please read about this service below and what procedures to take. Patrons will be able to check out items as usual except for Magazines and DVDs. Patrons will be limited to 3 DVDs. If a patron already has DVDs out, they cannot check any out for 5 days when DVDs are checked in again and quarantined. So please return DVDs on time so this service can continue.

Procedures

Scheduling Pickup: Patrons may call a location, see phone numbers below, to request items currently available from the Library System’s collection. Library staff will confirm the item is available and can be checked out.

Pickup Procedure: When you arrive at a library location, remain in your vehicle, call the location (see phone numbers below), and give library staff your name and library card number (located on the back of your card). Library staff will place your items in a bag and leave them on a table at the front door of the library once it is determined the materials are going to the correct patron. Once the staff have returned inside the library building, the patron may pick up their items at the table.

Returning Items: Patrons must return items to the designated book drop outside the library. All items will be quarantined for 4 days and will not be listed as “returned” in the patron’s account during that time. Items will be checked in on day 5. Fines will not be assessed during this 4-day period.

Library Cards: If you need a library card and do not want to come inside the library, we have put in place a procedure for obtaining. Since patrons must apply for a library card in person, they must wear a mask and gloves when applying for a card. Patrons will be given a registration form to complete and must bring your ID. The application will be placed in a container and placed on an outside table. Patrons will place completed application and ID in the container and return to the outside table. Staff will come out to get these materials and process a library card if everything is in order. Your ID will be sanitized when received and when given back to you. Also, the container will be sanitized each time it’s used. Staff are required to wear a mask and gloves. Patrons will need to call the branch library of choice to request items to check out after receiving a card.
