“Along with many other local libraries we made this decision to protect our patrons and staff, and to do our part to flatten the ever-rising curve of the coronavirus,” explained Library Director Carol Souchock.
Though the building is closed temporarily, contactless services will be available including the expansion of curbside service; reference assistance by phone, text or email; technology services including limited public computer access by appointment, and print services; downloadable books, movies, TV shows, music; virtual programming for adults, teens and children - live and repeated on the library YouTube channel; bedtime stories on Facebook Live and book bundles for children.
The library will also continue to accept book returns at the receptacles located outside the building.
To use the curbside service, go to plymouthlibrary.org and click on Catalog. Search for the items you'd like and place a hold on them. If the item is in the catalog, it can be requested - books, movies, music. Users can place a hold on up to 20 holds on their account or they can call (734) 453-0750 for help in placing a hold, Souchock explained.
“Wait for a confirmation email or phone call. It may take some time, depending on your place in the hold queue and the current availability of the items. The notification email has a link to set a pick-up time. Choose a tent (there are two), a day, and a time. You will receive a confirmation email. If you get phone notifications rather than email, you can call the library to set up a pick-up time,” she explained.
“Show up at your appointed time and take your items off the table under the tent assigned to you,” she said.

“As COVID response remains ever-changing, we have done out best to remain flexible and to provide high quality service for the community,” Souchock concluded.
