Although the Moose Jaw Public Library has reopened its doors to allow patrons inside the building, the library is reminding patrons that staff are still offering the option of curbside pickup when loaning out materials.
Curbside pickup was the first phase of reopening for the MJPL earlier this summer, and staff are keeping up the service to allow patrons who are sticking close to home to still be able to loan out library materials.
Patrons can still place holds on items either online in the library catalogue or by contacting the library directly, and staff are also on hand to help make recommendations, for those who are looking for favourite authors, genres or other specific items.
Curbside pickup is also now available on demand, which means patrons can select their loan items and call the library to arrange a pickup with as little as 30 minutes’ notice.
For those who are asking staff to select some recommended items, the library said it will have those ready within 24 hours.
Curbside pickup is still occurring on the loading dock on the north side of the MJPL building, and staff are able to load items into patrons’ vehicles if they are unable themselves.
Loan periods are still extended to four weeks, and drop off can also be done with no contact on the north side of the building.
Overdue fines are still suspended, and patrons are encouraged to hold off on returning items if they are feeling unwell.
To loan out materials from the MJPL, including books, DVDs, CDs, and video games, patrons can place their holds on the online catalogue, or contact the MJPL at 1 (306) 692-2787, by email at [email protected], or on Facebook.
The MJPL is currently open Mondays through Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.
