Curbside pickup now offered
The Humboldt County Library has announced the new offering of curbside pickup at all its locations throughout the county.
Patrons can place up to four items on hold at a time, either through the library’s website at www. humlib.org or by calling any library branch. When your items are ready, you will be notified by mail, email or by phone.
When you arrive at the library to pick up your items, you will find a sign displaying instructions and the library phone number. Remain in your vehicle or stay at least six feet away from the entrance and call the library to let the staff know that you have arrived. If you do not have a cell phone, knock at the library door and then move back at least six feet to allow library staff to answer the door. Items will be checked out to you and then brought outside, where you can retrieve them after library staffers return inside.
In addition to curbside pickup, the drop box at each branch is now open limited days during the week. For example, the drop boxes at the Eureka Library are open Wednesday through Friday. For the drop box schedule at your local library, contact them directly. Returned books will be quarantined for a minimum of 72 hours upon return, so note that your returns may take up to a week to be checked in and removed from your account. The library is waiving overdue fines during this period.
