[aisle] remote student book pick up

[Beverly Zbinden]

Patti,
We just started curbside pickup this week. We are fully remote, but library
staff are rotating into the library (one a day). Curbside pickup is from
9-2. Items are bagged and labeled and an email is sent to students that the
item is ready for pickup. The library is on the ground floor, close to an
entrance to school and patrons can drive by the entrance, call the circ
desk (info is posted outside at the pickup location), and a staff member
will run it out to the patron. Anything not picked up from 9-2 is put on a
cart and rolled to the main entrance where patrons can pick up after hours
at the security desk.

about education."
