What to expect during your appointment?

Come to the library at your allocated time. If you arrive late or miss your appointment, we will have to reschedule your appointment in order to ensure everyone's safety. Unfortunately, the books will be re-shelved and you will have to resubmit your request.

Once you arrive at your appointed time, knock on the door and enter the vestibule to alert volunteer staff of your presence.
You must wear a mask upon entering and use the hand sanitizer on the shelf.
The volunteer will place your bag on the table located in front of the bay windows.
Wait until the volunteer indicates you can come through to pick up your bag and exit through the next set of doors to the outside.

The available items you requested will be signed out in your name.

Due date is 14 days for books, audiobooks and DVDs.
Borrowed items can be returned on Saturday afternoons in the drop box located on the front stairs of the library.
All returned items will be quarantined for 72 hours.
The library will keep your membership cards to record when items are borrowed and returned.

If you have not already done so, drop off your library cards on August 1st, between 10:00 am and 1:00 pm, in order to place an order for pick up on August 8th. Otherwise, you can drop them off on any Saturday.
We cannot fulfill an order until we have your cards on file at the library.
NOTE: If you still have any outstanding books to be returned, you can deposit them in the drop box on the front stairs when you drop off your library cards on August 1st.
