New curbside service begins at the library this week
In an effort to provide a valuable service to the community during the pandemic, the Mission Viejo Library is starting curbside services this week.
From noon to 4 pm through Friday, June 5, folks who received a “holds†notice during the closure can now pick up their item at the library. Simply park in a designated space and follow the instructions on the sign.
Then on June 8, curbside service will begin for new “holds†Monday through Friday from noon to 4 pm. This means people can place a hold on all items in the library’s catalog. Patrons will receive an automated notice when these items are ready for pickup. Park in a designated space and follow the instructions on the sign.
Drive-up book drops in the parking lot have also been reopened for returns.
The Mission Viejo Library is located at 100 Civic Center. For more information, call 949-830-7100, ext. 5101.
