HUNTSVILLE, Ala — This curbside service will operate Monday through Friday, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and is offered at all locations except Cavalry and Showers Center. Bessie K. Russell is closed until the new library opens this fall.
To use curbside:
The safety and well being of staff and patrons is their highest priority, so they have enacted the following:
About our safety practices:
- All employees will practice social distancing of 6 feet
- All employees will be equipped with PPE
- All employees will use hand sanitizers and practice frequent hand washing
- Daily temperature checks will be conducted before each work day
As for the materials:
- Upon check-in, outer material covers and bindings will be sanitized
- Before materials are allowed to be checked out, they will be quarantined between users for 24 hours, which is the most recent recommended time frame given to us by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
- Because of this, wait times may be longer
The curbside pick up procedures are:
- After you receive notification that your hold is ready, please visit the branch you selected to pick up your items
- Because of the automated book drop at the Madison Public Library, patrons picking up there will have to wait 24 hours after receiving their notification. Every other branch will send the notice after the 24-hour quarantine.
- When you arrive, follow instructions to call the branch on the outdoor signage. A staff member will assist you
- Please do not come into the branch. Once your items have been brought out to an outside table, please wait until you can keep six feet of distance to retrieve your items
- You will need to get out of your car. They will not be delivering items to your car
- Please return your materials using the book drops rather than placing them on the outside tables to allow safe handling for staff members
They ask that you please be patient while they try to navigate this new service.
