New Drive-Up, Drop Off Book Return Opens Friday, Aug. 20

While the finishing touches are done to the front vestibule and lobby of the library, we're happy to announce that the new drive-up drop box will be open starting Friday, August 20. The drive-up, drop-off area is on the south side of the library, accessible from Meadow Lane. The temporary drop boxes in the gravel parking lot will be removed that same day.

We hope to relocate the check-in and check-out areas the week of Aug. 23 so we can re-open the front entrance. Keep checking this blog and our website for the latest updates.

Mark your calendars -- celebrate our Grand Re-Opening and 75th Anniversary the week of October 2-8. Our September/October newsletter has all the details! Hope to see you then.

I used the drive-up this morning. Sorry to inform you that it is very poorly designed. I could not get close enough to reach the drop box without opening my car door and getting half out of my car. I think you should get on your architect and contractor before they are done. It should be designed like the post office drop box with a jut out arrangement. Get it fixed before they are gone.

We are finding the drive-up drop off is also hard to reach if you are in a car, especially if you happen to be disabled. It is built for someone with an SUV or a large truck. We do not own such things. Getting out of the car and putting the books, DVDs into the slot seems to be the only way to succeed using this option. Can it be lowered? K. Hanson
