Curbside Book Service: Guidelines

Curbside Book Delivery Service Guidelines

Starting August 17th, the NWC Library will implement a no-contact curbside pickup service to support book requests as access to the physical collection remains restricted:  

  • Books may be requested by placing holds in the catalog or by sending a citation via email to the circulation department at circdesk@usnwc.edu. 

  • Requested items will be checked out to patron, placed in a paper bag, and stored on a book cart ready for pickup in the screening area of P2 garage. Bags will be labeled with the patron’s name.  

  • Curbside pickup service is by appointment.  

  • Circulation staff notifies patron via email when the items are available and explains procedures to follow:  

  • 1. Schedule an appointment for pickup anytime Mon/Wed/Fri during 1300-1530 hours. 
  • 2. When patrons arrive in P2 they call staff at 841-4386.  
  • 3. Staff comes to P2, places books on cart and confirms patron is there, and then leaves.  
  • 4. Patrons are instructed to call 841-4386 to cancel or reschedule.
