​How to know when your items are ready for pickup

  • You will receive an email or phone call when your items are ready.
  • It may take up to 4 days for your order to be ready but the usual turnaround is much shorter.
  • Please do not come to the library until you receive an email or phone call that your order is ready. Items may appear as "checked out" in your account before your order is fully processed.

​How to pick up your items

  • Pickup hours are Monday–Thursday 9 AM–7 PM, Friday and Saturday 9 AM–4 PM.​
  • ​You have 6 days to pick up your order.              
STEP ONE
​Write your last name, first initial, and phone number on a piece of paper and place it in your passenger-side front window so that it can be read through your windshield. Your items are already checked out. You do not need your library card to pick them up.     
STEP TWO
​When you arrive, follow the signs to the pickup location at the front doors.

Stay in your car. The library worker will get your items and place them in the back seat or trunk of your car.
