“Library 2-Go-Go” Curbside Pickup Service Press Release

“Library 2-Go-Go” Curbside Pickup Service Press Release

The Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library is committed to providing patrons expanded access to online resources and safe access to physical materials through a limited curbside pickup service, “Library 2-Go-Go” beginning Tuesday, May 26.

The library building will remain closed through this period, but area residents can still access our wifi signal from the safety of their vehicles in our back parking lot. The login information will be posted on the back door of the library for all patrons to access the wifi.

We will also continue to expand our online and contact free activities and resources for adults and children.

Starting Tuesday, May 26, patrons will be able to check out physical materials by calling the library at 814-486-8011 or reserving an item through our online catalog by going to http://barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org and clicking on “Online Catalog”.

Hours for Library 2-Go-Go pickups will be Mondays and Thursdays, 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. The parking spot directly in front of the library will be designated specifically for Library 2-Go-Go pickups. Patrons will be assigned a specific day and pickup timeframe and orders will be placed on a cart in the library foyer. There will be no access through the back door.

For your safety, please wear a mask and limit one patron in foyer at a time.

Special arrangements can be made for disabled and high-risk patrons.

Pickup orders will be limited to 5 ITEMS PER PICKUP ORDER at this time. If you do not know the specific titles you would like, your order will be limited to 3 items. Same-day pickup will not be possible with this system as we navigate the best way to fill all requests, library staff ask patrons to allow AT LEAST 24-48 hours for processing, and thank you in advance for your patience.

The library will also be providing Early Reader 3-book bundles for our youngest patrons (ages 5 and under). Parents can choose from the following bundles: Grab Bag (assorted books picked by librarian), Animals/Nature, Early Learning (colors, shapes, letters, etc), or Funny/Silly.

Remember, the Barbara Moscato Brown Memorial Library building remains closed to the public and patrons will not be allowed to enter for any reason. Lobbies, restrooms, computers, and other spaces will not be accessible.

Policies, pickup options and pickup times may be subject to changes as we navigate this new system. As always, we will notify our patrons of any future changes to procedure.

Detailed instructions for Library 2-Go-Go can be found on at http://barbaramoscatobrownlibrary.org.
