Curbside Pickup FAQs

Are Library materials safe to borrow?

As of Friday, June 11, in accordance with government and public health guidelines, we have removed the 24 hour quarantine period for returned library materials.

Knowledge about routes of transmission for COVID-19 has evolved greatly over the last year and it is now considered unlikely that the virus will remain active on surfaces in real-world conditions. We ask that you not attempt to sanitize materials yourself as this may cause damage to the item.

Please don't borrow library materials if you are feeling unwell or if any member of your household is sick or in isolation.

How are you keeping staff and members of the public safe?

Staff will be practicing physical distancing measures and frequent hand washing as well as using personal protective equipment (PPE) when it is appropriate to do so. Shared surfaces will be frequently disinfected. Hand sanitizer will also be available. Staff are trained in and will follow proper health and safety measures while working.

What items are available for lending?

You can request any items from our collections that are available for lending, including: Books in all formats, DVDs, Music CDs, and Books on CD.
