Due to the demolition and repaving of Bee Street and the associated closure of the City Hall parking lot, the Sausalito Library's curbside pickup service will be available from City Hall's Litho Street patio during the week of November 9. Parking spaces will be blocked off on Litho Street adjacent to the patio to facilitate access. The hours for curbside pickups via Litho Street are Tuesday from 12:00 to 6:00 p.m. and Wednesday and Thursday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Picku...ps are by appointment by calling (415) 289-4121. Please wait until you receive a confirmed time slot from a library staff member before coming to pick up items. Alternative accommodations will be available for those with concerns about parking on Litho Street, which is one of Sausalito's steepest roadways. Library materials may be returned to bins on the Litho patio during curbside hours and to the book drop adjacent to the patio at all other times. Please keep your materials if the book drop is full. Due to quarantine, returned materials may remain on your record for up to seven days before they are checked in.
