Instructions
STEP ONE: PLACE YOUR ORDER
  • You can place an order by calling the library (309-723-2541) and leaving a message OR email martintpl.43@gmail.com. Same day pickups may not be available.
  • Leave your name and phone number, the title and author of the book you want or be daring and let us pick for you.
  • Only items from Martin Township Public Library are available for pickup.
  •  EACH HOUSEHOLD IS LIMITED TO 10 ITEMS FOR PICKUP. YOU MAY NOT REQUEST MORE THAN 2 DVDs. 
STEP TWO: ARRANGE A PICKUP TIME
  • Once the order is received and pulled from the shelf, staff will contact you to arrange a specific pickup time. 
  •  Staff will give you a pickup number. The number will correspond to the space on the bench where your item will be located.

STEP THREE: PICK UP YOUR ORDER
  • Please arrive at your scheduled time and pick up your items from the bench in front of the library or under the drive through if it is raining.
  •  Patrons WILL need to exit their vehicle to pick up their items. If you need handicap accommodations, please request this when you arrange a pickup time with staff. 
  • The items will be in a bag with the first four letters of your last name and the number you were given by staff.
  •  We ask that only one person be at the pickup bench at a time for safe social distancing. There are red lines marking 6 feet of distance on the sidewalk.
FOR YOUR PROTECTION:
  • All items available for checkout have been quarantined for at least 7 days and staff are wearing both gloves and masks when handling materials to ensure public safety. 
  • Pickups are scheduled for specific times and six-foot markers have been laid out to minimize contact with others. Please, only one person at the pickup bench at a time.
  • For your safety, we suggest disposing of the bag as you see fit and washing your hands afterwards.
  • Returns are only being accepted in our book drop located in the third door of the library building. This allows us to keep these items separate from any outgoing items.
  • Due dates are currently set at June 12 and will be extended automatically until the library reopens.
