Curbside Service

We are providing contactless curbside service where our staff puts materials into your trunk. We will assign you an appointment with a 15 minute window. Pull into one of the marked spots in our parking lot and call the phone number on the sign. Show your library card or ID to the staff member through your closed driver-side window and open your trunk. No additional services or assistance are available curbside.

Curbside Service Appointments are available Tuesdays, from 10 AM to 2 PM, and Thursdays, from 3 PM to 7 PM. Please call or chat during staffed hours to make an appointment.
