Hamburg Township Library begins curbside pickup

Starting Monday, June 8, the Hamburg Township Library will begin curbside pickup services only, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Thursday; noon to 6 p.m. Friday; and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday.

The new curbside service is an easy and safe way for people to pick up checked-out materials without having to leve their car.

To use the curbside pickup:

1. Patron contacts the library via email or telephone with materials they wish to reserve for use.

2. After receiving notifications that items are ready for pickup, visit the library during the current temporary hours in one of the designated curbside pickup spots (formerly the 5-minute parking area).

3. When the patron arrives at the library in a designated spot, they will first return items to the outside drop box. After that, call (810) 231-1771 to let the staff know you are in a designated spot, what type of vehicle you are driving and you must have the trunk or window/door to the backseat open.

4. You must have your library card or state-issued ID (such as a driver’s license) in hand and show it to the staff member through a closed window.

The library is not accepting any hand-delivered returns for staff members’ safety, but patrons are welcome to place items in the outside book drops where staff will sanitize them per CDC guidelines.

The Hamburg Township Library is taking this phased approach to reopening, introducing the services that can be immediately provided while staff make adjustments within the facilities to ensure safety and compliance. While the library has already undergone a deep cleaning of the entire building and installed an ultraviolet air purification system, we still need to fine-tune the designated safe-distancing areas and additional sanitation procedures. Executive Order 2020-110 states that the library may reopen for public access, subject to the rules governing retail stores described in Executive Order 2020-97; however, we have been notified to expect revised orders in the near future. Details regarding when the library will be open for the public to come inside the facilities will be announced when we have complete information.
