The Library's curbside pickup table is not in a suitable location for avoiding snow and ice that falls from the roof, so while there is snow on roofs, just come to the Depot St. door and ring the doorbell, or use your cell phone to ask for your items.

Tech Tip: Requesting Books & DVDs
|
As the days get cooler and shorter, and the Pandemic longer, the library is seeing more people every week return to borrowing. Staff are being kept hopping, answering phones and emails, packing bags, and running them out to the door.
We are happy to see that the monthly number of items borrowed has doubled since September!
How can you request items?
Option 1: log in to search the catalog with your card number and password, select titles and place holds on them. You can do it with each individual title, or place them in a cart, then CHECK the boxes to select wanted items, and THEN place a hold (remember to confirm the hold!).
|
|
(you can start with the lists at the top to find newer items or selected topics).
If you can think of a book you liked, find it in the catalog and then try "browse shelf" to see nearby items (look next to the call number in the detailed display)
#1 & #2 help to ensure we don't give you something you have already read, and saves time on the phone.
Option 3: contact the library and ask us to pick out for you a certain number of books or DVDs. This is especially suited for children's books, since kids don't seem to mind re-reading something they have read before! Don't be shy - we love to help.
