Curbside service provides patrons an opportunity to safely borrow items from the library without having to come in. The library building is open but curbside service remains available for any patron who does not feel comfortable coming into the library building. Browse our safety measures here.
Please return all borrowed materials to the book drops by the rear doors.
With our curbside service, you can do most things you can do in-person at the library. When you arrive and park in one of the two parking lots behind the Main Library, call us at (502) 633-3803 and a circulation associate will bring your items out, help with mobile printing, or get your documents to fax, copy, or scan.
For more information about printing, copies, faxes, and scans, click here.
Check out books, DVDs, and audiobooks.
Print documents and images using mobile printing. (The print queue resets at midnight every night, so please pick up your print on the day you send it.)
Make copies of documents and images.
Scan of documents and images to your email or send a fax.
The curbside service process uses our existing holds system with different results. Instead of you coming in to pick up your items, we bring them to your vehicle.
Please stay in your vehicle while the staff member is bringing your items out. If you have items to return, please return them to the book drop after the staff member has returned to the building.
The Library is open and curbside service is available during the following hours. See holiday closures here.
Monday - Friday from 9:30 AM–4:30 PM
Saturday from 9:30 AM–1:30 PM

Curbside Service is available on:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday from 10 AM–4 PM
Thursday from 10 AM–6 PM
Saturday from 10 AM–1 PM
The hold system is limited to five total items per patron. This includes the limit of three DVDs per adult card, three audiobooks, and other existing restrictions.
You can put a hold on books, audiobooks, DVDs, and CDs. Magazines, reference items, and genealogy materials cannot be put on hold. Click here to place a hold on any item in our catalog.
You will receive an email or phone call from the Library once your item has been pulled. Note that if the item is not available because someone else has it checked out, you will not receive the item until the current patron returns it and the item has been quarantined for 72-hours.
To expedite curbside service, once your items are pulled, they will immediately be checked out to your account.
Once you have received a notification that your item(s) are ready, usually within one or two business days after you place the hold, you have three business days plus Saturdays to pick up the item(s) during Curbside Service hours:
Curbside service hours are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday from 10 AM – 4 PM, Thursday from 10 AM–5:30 PM, and Saturday from 10 AM–1 PM.
Please return all borrowed materials to the book drop located at the rear door of the library by the date listed on the due slip. All returned items go into a 72-hour quarantine and will remain on your account for at least 72-hours before being checked in and disinfected. Overdue fees automatically accrue, but are waived by staff when the item is checked in.
If you cannot access digital resources because of a fine or overdue status, call the Library at (502) 633-3803 during our regular hours or message us on Facebook at any time to resolve the issue.
We want as many people to be able to use our resources. Contact us at (502) 633-3803 during our regular hours or message us on Facebook anytime.
