Is the Library offering curbside pickup?
Answer
Hello,
Yes, even though we're now open for browsing! Please read guidelines below and contact the library if you have questions.
- Following receipt of your notice that your holds are available, you may utilize our drop-in Curbside Pickup. On April 11, 2022, curbside hours will match library hours of 10am-7pm Mon-Thurs, and 10am-5pm Fri-Sat.
- Please park in a designated Curbside Pickup spot, have your library card ready, and call the special phone number on the sign at your spot. A library staff member will take your call and bring your items to your car.
- If you can open your trunk from within your vehicle, items will be placed in the trunk to minimize contact. Please notify staff during your call if the trunk is unavailable.
- Be aware that this process can take 10-20 minutes, depending on number of holds and traffic flow.
You will only be able to pick up items which you've previously requested, and been notified are available for pickup. You may place requests for items through our catalog or contact us directly. For more information, please see our Curbside webpage at https://library.carlsbadca.gov/services/curbside-service
For general questions about your account or items on hold, please contact the location where your holds are waiting: 442-339-2019 for Dove holds, 442-339-2873 for Cole holds, or 442-339-5500 for LLC holds. If you're onsite for Curbside pickup, please call the phone# on the sign at your spot.
Thank you for your patience. We’re working to get your requested items to you as soon as possible.
Regards,
Reference Librarian
