County of San Luis Obispo Public Libraries

With so many folks on our library team assisting the County in its COVID-19 response, we are moving to Sidewalk Service at four locations. Here’s how it works: Place your holds at SLOlibrary.org or call an open location for assistance. We'll notify you when they're ready.... Pick up your holds at one of our Sidewalk Service locations. We’ll be ready to help you at the front door. Sidewalk Service hours are 9am-5pm (closed 1-2:15pm), Tues-Sat, at SLO, Arroyo Grande, Atascadero, and Morro Bay libraries. Thank you for your patience and support!

We're back! You can once again search the catalog, place holds, and access our other online services. Thanks for your patience!
