Champaign Public Library will begin curbside delivery for hold request items beginning May 15th. If you’ve requested items and they are available, you will be able to pick them up Monday through Thursday between 3 and 7 p.m., and Friday through Sunday between 1 and 4 p.m., though you’ll need to schedule this ahead of time.
Here’s how it works:
How do Hold requests and Curbside Delivery service work?
1. Find an item in the catalog and select the “Request It” button. Most items can be requested—including books, movies, video games, hotspots, Chromebooks, Kindles-to-Go, and LaunchPads.
2. Call to schedule Curbside Delivery. You’ll be notified when your request is ready. Call 217-403-2000 or use the Curbside button on the Library app to schedule your Curbside Delivery. Staff will ask for your name, library card number, a description of your vehicle, and when you expect to arrive at the library.
3. We’ll get everything ready for you. We will retrieve your items, check them out on your account, and have them ready for you when you arrive.
4. Drive up to the front of the Main Library and park in Clara Lane. Call us (217-403-2000) or use the Library app to let us know you have arrived. For contactless pickup, please open your trunk from inside your vehicle.
For Curbside Delivery at the Douglass Branch, call 217-403-2000.
The library and book return are still closed. Access e-resources here.
