You do not need to call the library our staff will call you if you have items to pick up. Step 2: Staff will provide pickup instructions when they make your appointment. Please note that masks and social distancing will be required for all staff and customers. Step 3: Arrive at your appointed time follow signs to the Door-Side Pickup area.
