News and Updates

WANT TO STAY COZY IN YOUR CAR?

USE OUR DRIVE-UP WINDOW!

Sometimes you don’t have time for a long visit to the Library, or it's too cold to get out of your car. You just want to swing by and pick up your holds. The drive-up window is for you. Just drive up, press the button to ring for service, and a staff member will come to assist you. 

Service at the window is limited to picking up holds and paying fines. 

If you'd like to pick up your hold at a specific time, you can make an appointment by phoning the library and determining a mutually agreed-upon pick-up time with staff.

COVID TESTS ARE AVAILABLE

DRIVE-UP WINDOW PICKUP ONLY

The Library has free Covid-19 test kits (2 tests per kit) available. Limit one kit per person in a household daily, up to 5 people, while supplies last. If you would like to pick up a test kit, stop by the drive-up window, or call at least one hour before you expect to arrive, so staff can have your kit ready. For more information, see our webpage here.
