San Diego County Library's 33 branches have closed their buildings to patrons to curtail the spread of COVID-19, but will provide walk-up door-side service from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays to Fridays, following guidance from the California Department of Public Health.

No appointmen­t is required to pick up requested library materials through the walk-up door-side service. Customers can check out books, movies and CDS through the library's online system or by calling a branch. When items are ready for pick up, customers will receive an automatic notice via email, phone or mail.

The County Library's Digital Library provides 24/7 access to e-books, audiobooks, magazines, and learning opportunit­ies like Lynda.com, Mango Languages along with resume and interview assistance through Jobnow/vetnow. New customers can get a digital library card for remote access from home or work at sdcl.org/ ecard.

The library continues to accept enrollment into Library High School, which provides an accredited high school diploma for adults ages 19 and older at libraryhig­hschool.org.

The due date for borrowed library materials is extended to Feb. 3. During this closure, customers can still return materials in person.

Wi-fi service is still accessible from the outside of most library branches.
