Libraries in Clark and Champaign counties have started curbside pickups as they remain closed to the public until further notice due to the coronavirus, or COVID-19.

All Clark County libraries have begun a curbside pickup program, and librarians are now available through online and by phone to answer questions, according to the library’s website.

“Patrons will be able to call the library of their choice and select materials for pickup or they can visit our online catalog at www.ccplohio.org to place items on hold,” the website stated. “Once the items are ready, you’ll be notified as you normally would and then can call the library to schedule a pickup time.”

Book and AV returns are also now available, and all in-person library programs have been suspended until July.
