How Contactless Pickup Works
- Place a hold on library material. You can do this via the online catalog or MLN app, or call / chat with a librarian.
- Wait until you’ve been notified that your hold is ready to pick up.
- Schedule an appointment to pick up your hold(s).
(If you reserved a craft kit, make sure you put that in the Notes field.)
You won’t be able to sign in to schedule an appointment until your holds are ready.
|
What to Expect in Your Bag
When you pick up your holds during your appointment slot, you should expect:
|
- Your holds will be in a bag (or bags) with your name or alias on it.
- If you have a lot of holds, check to see if you have multiple bags.
- All of your holds that are ready when the bag is packed are included for pickup.
- Bags are packed the workday before your appointment will occur.
- Items are checked out to your account when they are packed for pickup.
- We are not able to add additional items after we have packed a bag.
- Holds can only be picked up at the library location they were ordered from.

Virtual STEAM Program with Science Tellers

WEDNESDAY, July 22 at 3:30 PM

Join the Science Tellers for a virtual STEAM program titled, “Dragons: Return of the Ice Sorceress!” Long, long ago, two kids go on a daring adventure to find a dragon and save the kingdom from the Ice Sorceress! When things don’t go as planned, however, they must turn to themselves (and to science!) for the answer. This program is geared for kids in Grades K-5.
|
This program will be streamed via Facebook Live on July 22, 2020 at 3:30 PM. You can also access the program all summer long by clicking this Vimeo link. Watch the program as many times as you’d like between June 1 and August 31, 2020, and remember to reach out to the Library to let us know how you liked it!
