LW Library Curbside Pick Up

Despite the limitations imposed by the fight against COVID-19, LW Library staff continues its innovative curbside pick-up program.

• To schedule your pick-up of requested material, call the library at (562) 598-2431, Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m.-2 p.m., or email LWLibrary@lwsb.com.

When emailing, include your name, library card number, phone number, and what kinds of materials you like to read and/or watch.

Staff members will do their best to accommodate specific requests when available.

If the requested material is not available, they will use their expertise to find similar items. All it takes is a call or an email, and a friendly employee will put together a bag of materials for you to pick up and borrow from the library.

Due to limited staffing, it could take up to 48 hours, excluding weekends, to fill requests.

You will receive a call when your material is ready for curbside pick-up Tuesday through Friday.

If you have yet to visit and get your own library card number, call for a temporary one until the library reopens.

Residents can still use the library’s Wi-Fi while practicing social distancing outside of the building each day.

As always, the health and safety of our patrons and staff are our priority.

The LW Library was closed March 16, and on-site programs and events were canceled until further notice.

In the meantime, the library has also implemented the following:

• Due dates for all currently checked-out books were extended, and late fees were been suspended until further notice;

• Items may be returned to the outdoor drop boxes at any time;

• The library has also created a new protocol for cleaning books (while it always cleaned books and media, cleaning and disinfecting procedures have been stepped up).

• Staff is still available to answer questions via phone or email Tuesday through Friday, 9:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
