Forsyth County libraries accepting returns, plan drive-up checkouts
The Forsyth County Public Library announced the book drops at all four libraries are once again accepting items being returned, and a “contact free” curbside pickup service allowing items to be checked out will begin Monday.
Books, CDs, books on CD, DVDs and read-alongs can be returned to the drive-up book return bins at the Cumming and Hampton Park libraries, and the automated book returns at the Post Road and Sharon Forks libraries, officials said. Items normally returned to the “Ask Us” desks, such as oversized and interlibrary loan materials, should not be returned yet.
Though library branches remain closed, staff is gearing up for a service that will let library card holders use the online catalog to place holds on physical materials. Patrons can then call 770-781-9840 to make an appointment to pick up the materials at their preferred branch.
Curbside pickups will be offered from noon to 7 p.m., Monday through Thursday; and from noon to 5 p.m., Friday and Saturday. Information: https://bit.ly/2ymUxic
