Schedule a Library Locker Appointment

Reserve your library materials online and schedule a library locker appointment to pick up your items.

  1. Request library materials. Use the library catalog to place holds on specific titles.
  2. After you receive an email that your materials are ready, schedule a library locker pickup appointment.
  3. Pick up your items from the library lockers, located just inside the double doors from the library’s parking ramp on Third Street. Materials are available in the locker for the day of your appointment only, and lockers are only accessible during library hours.

If the library locker service is full or you have an available item that you would like more quickly, stop into the library and retrieve your materials from the holds shelf during library hours. No appointment is needed. The holds shelf is located across from the Public Services desk on the lower level of the library.

Try a Book Bundle

Try Book Bundles, a new and convenient way to explore and check out library materials. Instead of requesting specific titles, tell us what types of materials you would like, and staff will select them for you.”

Here’s how it works:
 
1. Complete the Book Bundle Request Form. Pick the categories you are interested in (such as adult historical fiction, teen nonfiction, or children’s picture books). You don’t have to limit your choices to books. You can request types of music, movies, and magazines, too.
 
2. Library staff will gather materials, check them out to you, and notify you when the items are ready. Please allow 2 days for staff to complete the request.
 
3. After receiving the notification, pick up your book bundle at the library.
