Alexandria Library Begins Curbside Pickup on June 15

ALEXANDRIA, VA -- Starting Monday, June 15, Alexandria Library will begin curbside pickup - for library materials that are currently on hold - at each of its locations. Curbside hours will be between the hours of 11am to 4pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday and 11am to 6pm on Wednesday. Please note: Staff will not accept returned materials, donations, payments, or answer questions during curbside service.

Customers are encouraged to schedule their appointment through the Curbside Module on the Library’s website. If you have questions, call or email your local branch.

New holds may be placed on or around June 29.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Alexandria Library has continued to provide many library services with a variety of electronic resources and ongoing virtual programs for children, teens and adults. Last month, the Library's Adult Summer Reading and SummerQuest program launched and are now live through September 6, 2020. If you would like to participate online, you can register through Beanstack at https://alexandria.beanstack.org/.

At a future date, Alexandria Library locations will re-open to the public -- this date has yet to be determined. The libraries are not accepting book donations at this time; however, library materials can be returned anytime in the library’s book return slots at any location. Due dates for currently checked out materials have been extended. Library staff encourages everyone to continue practicing physical distancing, washing hands frequently, wearing clean masks properly, and maintaining good health with exercise and balanced diets.
