  • Fill out our form: You can can request up to 15 items via our online form (see bottom of this page) and also ask for “librarian’s choice” i.e. all-ages recommendations for what to read, watch, or listen to next! This form is also located at the bottom of this page.

PLEASE NOTE:

Please return all materials through the book drop just outside the main library door. The library continues to quarantine all returns for 72 hours before checking them in.

PRINT/COPY/FAX:
We are also offering curbside pickup for your print jobs. Please email the documents you want printed to pod@prlibrary.org and we will print them when you arrive at the library. You can also upload them directly to the printer using our Mobile Printing System. Need something copied, scanned, or faxed? We are happy to take the documents inside and complete the tasks for you with the upmost respect for your privacy and personal information.

LAPTOPS
Need to use a computer for a few hours? We are also offering Chromebook lending for use our parking lot during the library’s open hours. These basic laptops can be used to access the Internet through our free WiFi signal.

TAKE AND MAKE KITS
Looking for fun activities for everyone in the family? Along with curbside materials, we’ll also be distributing “Take and Make” kits for both kids and adults. These kits include everything from early literacy learning materials and S.T.E.A.M. activities for kids to recipes and D.I.Y. projects for adults. Ask us what our latest offerings are- we try to have at least two different kits per month for both kids and adults and one per month for teens!

TECH HELP
Need help with your device or computer? Give us a call and we will get you set up with a phone or Zoom appointment with one of our tech-savvy staff!
