Contact-free pickup is now available at all 23 of Sno-Isle Libraries community libraries across Snohomish and Island counties.
Library customers can browse the collection and place holds on books and other physical materials. Customers will receive an automated email and/or phone call when their requested items are ready for contact-free pick up during operating hours at their community library.Community library staff had been testing the new contact-free service over the past week in a soft-launch period.Customers may also now return borrowed library items. Customers should return items to designated crates outside the library or use the exterior book return (if available) during library operating hours. All returned materials are quarantined for 72 hours before being handled and processed by staff members and returned to circulation. Returned magazine are held for four days.
While Sno-Isle Libraries staff members are working in community libraries, the buildings remain closed to the public.
Sno-Isle Libraries buildings have been closed since March 13, following local and state guidelines regarding COVID-19. Since then, many new and expanded online resources, events and services have been developed and made available to customers and the public.
Contact-free services are allowed under the state’s Phase 2 guidelines. As some areas move to Phase 3, the library district will continue to provide services in ways that are safe for both customers and employees.
Then, customers can go to their library and call the pickup-notification number posted at the library and listed online. A library staff member will meet the customer at the designated door, verify the name or library card number and place the items outside the door in a labeled, recyclable paper bag.
