FDL will start collecting checked-out materials on a limited basis during the next two weeks. Please note the drop boxes will NOT be open.
Curbside return service will be available:
Tuesday • May 19 & May 26 • 4-7pm
Thursday • May 21 & May 28 • 10am – 1pm
Saturday • May 23 & May 30 • 9am – 12pm
You will be asked to pull through the drive-up window lane to the delivery door. You will need to exit your vehicle to return items to the designated plastic bins. All materials will be quarantined for a minimum of seven days and then will be removed from your account following quarantine (approximately 7-10 days). This no-contact process ensures staff will not have to handle materials until after the recommended 7-day quarantine period.
The due date for all materials is still June 30th, so those who wish to hold on to their items longer may do so without incurring fines.
We appreciate your patience with this process! Patrons currently have more than 10,000 items checked out, so this will help the library prepare to start circulating materials again through the drive-up window in a few weeks. (Stay tuned for announcements!)
Please call staff at 309-205-5855 Monday through Friday, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., if you have questions or concerns.
