You will receive an email when your items are ready for curbside pickup. Please wait until then.

To ensure everyone’s safety, small teams of staff are working a modified schedule in the branches and are processing a large number of holds, returns, and curbside deliveries while maintaining appropriate social distancing and quarantining materials. Though your hold may be showing it is available because it is on the shelves at your branch, it must be pulled by a staff member in the order hold requests are received while following safety measures. We appreciate your continued patience.

Books and other materials retrieved from book drops or sent between branches are quarantined before they are handled again. In addition, staff are working in small teams with a modified schedule to ensure everyone’s safety. Due to these safety measures, combined with a large volume of materials being processed daily, transit times are longer than usual. You will receive an email when your item is available for curbside pickup, and we appreciate your continued patience.

Interlibrary Loan has been temporarily suspended. These features will return when library branches reopen.

We are now accepting returns at branches which are offering curbside pickup. Initially, returns are being accepted only during curbside pickup hours to avoid overflowing bookdrops and to allow time to quarantine materials for everyone's safety. Materials can be returned only to bookdrops; staff cannot accept returned materials. It may take a week or more for returned items to show as checked in. Late fees will not accrue.

You may do a Special Item Return to Curbside Pickup. To do so, place the item in your trunk and come to Curbside Pickup during open hours. Follow the instructions at Curbside Pickup to text or call to alert staff to your arrival and to let them know you have an item that cannot be returned in the book drop. Then pop your trunk and staff will retrieve the item from your trunk while wearing gloves and a mask. Please return all other items to the book drop.

If you have a Book Group in a Bag, please separate the books and drop them in, then fold up the bag and drop it in. If you have a single book from a Book Group in a Bag, you may also return it in the book drop and we will make sure it is reunited with its bag.
