4. Pull up to the designated curbside delivery spots in the library parking lot. 
5. Call the branch number to let them know you have arrived. The number will be listed on a sign near the parking lot.
6. Pop your trunk and a staff member will come out to place your items inside your vehicle.
7. Enjoy!

*5 item limit to requests made over the phone. Kits and Studio 304 equipment are not eligible for curbside pick-up. 

Drive-In Laptops
