Library resumes curbside delivery; appointments for pickup available

A small but meaningful connection is being restored between the Shelter Island Public Library and the community.

Closed since mid-March, the library is now able to resume curbside delivery of books, according to Director Terry Lucas. “We did a soft rollout last Thursday and Friday and it went well” she said. “People were really happy to return the books and movies they had and pick up new material.” Patrons can call 631-749-0042 or go to silibrary.org and click on the link to the Catalog.

The staff will call when materials come in to make an appointment for pickup. “We are setting up appointments for every day this week except Sunday,” said Ms. Lucas, and they will make deliveries to those who don’t wish to leave their homes.
