Starting Tuesday, June 2, three County of San Luis Obispo library branches will begin offering curbside pickup services.
The San Luis Obispo, Atascadero, and Arroyo Grande branches of the County libraries will offer curbside pickup Tuesday through Friday from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
“Some of our online services continue as always including e-books, audiobooks, movies, zip- books, and our online summer reading program,” said County Libraries Director Christopher Barnickel. “Library cardholders can begin placing holds on items in the www.slolibrary.org catalog on Monday, June 1 for pickups starting on Tuesday, June 2. You can get text, email and phone notifications when your items are ready at your desired branch for pick up.”
Cardholders may check out up to 10 items at a time, with a three-week limit on keeping print items and one week for other media. Instructions will be posted for patrons who arrive to pick up their ordered materials. Patrons may pick up materials from any one of the three regional library branches.
Materials can be returned at any of the County’s 14 branch locations, in the book drop boxes, or simply handed to staff during the curbside service interaction. Please see the curbside page reference on the www.slolibrary.org for more information.
County library buildings will remain closed to the public until further guidance for opening is provided by the California Department of Public Health.
