Contact-Free Curbside Pickup of Books, DVDs, Audiobooks, and Other Materials

  • Reserve items by phone: 725-5242 or online here. If the item you want to borrow is not available at Curtis, you can request it from another MINERVA library, as inter-library loan has resumed.

  • We will notify you when you items are ready – by email if we have on file, or by phone if we do not.

  • Give us a call when you arrive at the pickup area outside the Middle Street entry at 725-5242.

  • We will bring your items out to your vehicle.

Q & A:

  • How long will it take to get my order ready? It could take up to 24 hours, but hopefully it will be faster! We will notify you when your order is ready to be picked up.

  • Can I order items from other libraries for curbside service? Yes! We can request materials from other libraries for you over the phone, or you can place your request through the MINERVA catalog.
