For your convenience, staff can bring items to your car that have been placed on hold at the Lisa Rice Library, the Bob Kirby Branch, and the Smiths Grove Branch.

Curbside Pickup Process

1. Curbside pickup is only available for items that are awaiting patrons via hold requests. To place an item on hold, log in to your account in our online catalog, then select items you’d like to check out, and indicate your preferred pick up location.
2. When the status of a requested item changes from “Pending” or “Active” to “Held,” you should receive email or text confirmation. You may also check an item’s status by logging on to your account. 
3. Visit the library during the next 5 days, before your hold expires.
4. When you arrive at your library location, request curbside delivery by calling to let a staff member know you are in the parking lot and let them know where you are parked; have your library card or photo ID in hand.
5. Once checked out, the items will be brought to your vehicle; be prepared to show us your ID or card.
