Pick-Up/Return Books

Book Drop

The Sandwich Public Library offers an outdoor book drop so you can return materials 24/7. There is one drop for books and another for audio visual items.

Book Locker

Want to pick up your library holds on the go? Good news! You can!

Call the library and request your items/holds to be added to the book locker. You will need to provide your library card number. Staff will then review your items, check out items to your account, and place them in the book locker. When you arrive to pick up your items, enter in the last 6 digits of your library barcode on the number pad. A locker door will open and you may collect your items with the due date slip inside. Book locker is located next to the book drop.

*Note: Once your items have been placed in the book locker, you have 24 hours to pick them up before the code will become invalid.

Curbside/Foyer

- When you arrive for curbside/foyer services, call the library at 815-786-8308 to inform staff you’re here. Staff will either bring your materials out to your car, or ask you to come into the library's foyer.

- During winter, staff may request patrons to come inside the library foyer to complete services in order to protect them from the harsh cold.
