PROGRAM HISTORY:
- On Monday, May 18, 2020, the Lisle Library District (LLD) launched the Curbside Pick-Up program. This program was organized because of the COVID-19 crisis; however, this service has also fulfilled needs for those with mobility challenges, or for those who may have busy schedules and need a quick pick-up option.
- The LLD is currently undergoing a major renovation. Once the renovation is complete, the Curbside Pick-Up Program will be replaced with a Drive-Up Service Window! Stay tuned for more details. You can find more renovation information on the LLD Capital Projects page.
- Place your items on hold: Visit the LLD online catalog and place the items you would like on hold. Cardholders are currently limited to receiving 20 items per week. If you need assistance placing your holds, please call 630-971-1675 and listen for the phone prompts to direct you to a department, or email us at adultservices@lislelibrary.org or youthservices@lislelibrary.org if you cannot reach us by phone.
- Verify that your items are ready: After 24 hours, log into your Library card account to confirm that your items are available. They will have a status of ‘Held’ when available.
- Schedule your pickup time: Once you have verified that your items are available, click on SCHEDULE LLD CURBSIDE PICK-UP. Go to the LLD online calendar and schedule a pick-up date and time that works for you. Look for LLD CURBSIDE PICK-UP on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays on the online calendar. There are limited time-slots for each curbside pick-up day (times/days may be modified if necessary). CALL THE LIBRARY (630-971-1675) IF YOU ARE SCHEDULING SAME-DAY PICK-UP. We will keep holds for 7 days.
- Pick-up your items: Once you have a pick-up time confirmed, drive to 777 Front Street, and enter the Front Street parking lot and park at the designated Curbside Pickup spot—a sign will indicate the correct parking spot.
