Curbside to Go

1. Make an appointment on the myLIBRO mobile app or call the library in advance to set the appointment for you. Learn how to schedule Curbside to GO holds pickup in the myLIBRO app. Download the app. (iOS, Android)

2. Call the phone number on signs outside when you arrive at the library. Each library has a different phone number. Staff will book the earliest open appointment.

3. Walk up without making a phone call to receive the earliest open appointment. Wait times may vary. The first open hour is the busiest hour. The last available pickup slot is 15 minutes before closing.

How to Pick up Your Holds

Patrons will get an email notification when your holds are ready. After receiving the email, go to the library for curbside pickup. Staff will place holds to pick up and go at the front entrance. Follow the instructions on the signs posted outside the library.

Return Items

Return all items through the manual book drop. (Returns may not be handed to staff in-person or through Self Check-In.)

Returned items will be quarantined – and remain on your account – for a minimum of 3 days before being checked in. KCLS is not charging overdue fines right now, but all due dates and renewal limits still apply. Any fines or fees accrued during this time will be waived.

Library patrons can also stop by to pick up a surprise bag of five book titles at any Curbside to Go location.
