Lobby Service is Now Available at All Community Libraries! SCCLD is offering lobby services at all seven of its community libraries. Patrons are invited to safely come back to the library to pick up holds and browse limited bestseller and new collections for all ages, including books, movies and children’s book bundles, for quick and easy, self-service checkouts. Lobby service hours vary by location, as each library offers different daytime and evening hours to accommodate patrons’ busy schedules. No appointment is needed. Patrons are asked to keep their visit to about 10 minutes to allow others a chance to enjoy the service. Visitors who enter the library must be COVID-19 symptom free, wear a face covering, and maintain 6 ft. social distance. Hand sanitizer is provided as patrons enter and exit the library. Each library has self-service machines to check out items. Patrons will need to have their library card with them, or know their library card number and PIN number to use the self-check machines. If you don't recall your PIN number, call us at (408) 540-3945 for assistance. Contactless curbside service is still available for those who prefer to schedule an appointment, where a staff member will bring items out to their vehicle. Appointments can be made online or by phone. Curbside service hours differ from lobby hours and by library location. Curbside hours changed as of Nov 2 due to Daylight Saving Time ending. If you need Account or reference service, these will continue by phone, email, or chat. All additional updates about SCCLD services are available at sccld.org/. |
