(Hayward, WI) – On April 16 Governor Evers issued a Safer at Home Extension Order which allows for a non-contact curbside library service which will be the first step toward the return of normal operations for Wisconsin libraries. The Lac Courte Oreilles Ojibwe College Community Library will begin offering this service beginning on Wednesday, April 29 and will be open for pick-ups on Wednesdays and Thursdays 10am-2pm and Fridays 12-4pm.
Borrowers may request LCO Library materials in the following ways: Telephone 715-634-4790 ext. 122/108 (leave voicemail anytime); e-mail library@lco.edu; mail; or the outside book return. All requests need to provide complete name, library card number, and contact information (e-mail or telephone). Requests can also be put on hold through Merlin. There will be no interlibrary loan and the building will not be open. Patrons will be contacted when their orders are ready and be provided with a pick-time. Materials will be bagged and put on a designated cart outside the library at the assigned time or the borrowers may call the library from their cars. All returns must be put in the book return.
The LCO Library is working hard to ensure the safety of materials they are sharing with the community by following CDC recommendations for sanitization and quarantine (72 hours) timelines. Borrowers are urged to exercise their own judgement as to whether to quarantine these materials when they return home.
