[ARCHIVED] Get Library Materials using Curbside Pickup!

Man Driving a Car.

Libraries buildings are closed to the public, but we’re still here to help! Learn how you can pick up items from our libraries without even having to get out of your vehicle. 

Step One: Place a Hold on your Items

  • Search for and place a hold on the items you want using our website or the WashCoLib mobile app. 
  • When placing your hold, select your desired pickup library. Note: The Mahtomedi District Education Center is not offering curbside pickup, but its doors are currently open so holds can be picked up as usual. 
  • You will be notified via email when your hold is ready. 

Step Two: Call Us to Schedule Curbside Pickup

  • To arrange a curbside pickup, call the pickup library you selected when placing the hold. 
  • Press "2" to schedule a pickup time. Appointments are available during your library’s regular open hours.
  • Items must be picked up the same day service is requested.

Step Three: Pick up Your Items

  • When you arrive to pick up your holds, pull into the space reserved for Curbside Pickup. There will be signs to help direct you. 
  • Call the pickup library to let them know you’re there. Please have your library card on-hand or be prepared to provide your card number.
