<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Patti,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">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.</div><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div><font size="1">Beverly Zbinden</font></div>

However, some of our parents have chosen to keep their kids at home for remote learning. We're working on a way for students to pick up their books curbside. Right now, after students request their book, we've schedule an hour one day a week for parents to swing by and pick up the books. I've learned having only one set hour a week isn't going to really work.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">I suppose we could add a second day with an afternoon time, and kids could choose which time is best. I don't want to put books in the office for parents to pick up; the office is busy enough. Putting the labeled books on a cart outside the entrance would be a possibility. But we run the risk of someone picking up the wrong books or anyone grabbing something off the cart. I know evening is probably easier for parents, but none of us can stay after school hours for this. And again, if we leave the cart outside in the evening, we run into the same issues as above. <br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Any thoughts?
