Your Library at a safe distance
Your account must be in good standing to use curbside service or home delivery, without excessive fees or lost materials
Curbside service
Step One:
Please call to place you items on hold with your library card number ready.
Main Library – (219) 397-2453
Pastrick Branch – (219) 397-5505
Step Two:
We will call you when your hold is ready, then you can tell us when you plan on picking up your items.
Step Three:
Call the library when you arrive. Tell us your name, phone number, description of your vehicle, and orange cone number. A library employee will bring you items out to you.
You may remain in your vehicle to maintain social distancing. If you are walking, staff can place your items on a cart in the foyer for no-contact pickup. If you don’t have a mobile phone, call us before you leave with an estimate on when you’ll arrive.
