Let the library know when you schedule your pick up! Wait for staff to place a bag with your materials on our curbside pickup table. Pick up and enjoy!
The Elizabeth Taber Library will begin accepting return of library materials June 15 through 18 from 12:00 to 2:00 pm. Please place return materials in tubs provided in front of the book drop. Please refrain from using the book drop at this time. The library will not be accepting donations of books and other materials as our staff shifts focus to returns and curbside.
