STEP THREE: PICK UP YOUR ORDER

• Please arrive at your scheduled time and pick up your items from the front porch (east; Main Street door).

• The items will be in a bag with the first four letters of your last name and the number you were given by staff.​
• We ask that only one person be on the front porch and steps at a time for safe social distancing.

FOR YOUR PROTECTION:

• All items available for checkout have been quarantined for 3 days and staff are wearing both gloves and masks when handling materials to ensure public safety. 
• Pickups are scheduled for specific times and six-foot markers have been laid out to minimize contact with others. Please, only one person on the porch and stairs at a time.
• For your safety, you are welcome to quarantine your items at home before handling.
• Returns are only being accepted in our book drop. This allows us to keep these items separate from any outgoing items.
• Due dates have returned to normal!
