*************************
Looking for your next read, movies to watch or audiobooks to listen to? Your Guelph Public Library is here to help with curbside pickup starting Monday, June 1, 2020. This service will be offered, by appointment only, Monday to Friday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. at all library locations – except the West End branch and Bookmobile community stops. 

How to Use Curbside Pickup of Library Materials:

1. Place holds on library materials through the library’s catalogue or phone library staff at 519-824-6220 for help choosing materials. Please limit your holds to one library card per family to ensure the health and safety of library staff and customers.  
2. You will be notified when your items are ready either through email, text or a phone call depending on your library account setup.  
3. Click the “Curbside Pickup” weblink in your holds notification to book an appointment at the library location of your choice. Please phone the library if you are having any issues or received your holds notification by phone.  
4. When you arrive at the library during your arranged booking time, wait in the designated spot by the library entrance with your library card ready to be shown. Your items will be brought out to the curbside pickup table.  
5. A due date receipt will be included with your items. All materials are checked out for their regular loan periods. Don’t forget to bring a bag for your items.

As all Guelph Public Library locations remain closed to the public, in-person programming and room bookings remain suspended. However, virtual services and programs will continue to be available through the library’s website events calendar.

Need a library card? Guelph residents can register for temporary virtual library cards through the library’s catalogue to access curbside pickup.

Be sure to check the library’s website frequently for any curbside pickup service updates. For assistance with the library’s curbside pickup, please phone the Guelph Public Library location where you will be picking up your holds. Enjoy reading, watching, listening and loving your Guelph Public Library items!
