Curbside Pickup Service  FAQs

Hours for curbside pickup:

Follow two easy steps to pick up materials at Cabot Public Library’s curbside cart, located outside the back entrance of the Willey Building.

Step one: Place your items on hold.

  • Use our website catalog to search for items currently available at the library, and place a hold on the items you want.  Please limit to five items per library card.  If you need any assistance, call us at 802- 563-2721 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday. 

  • We will notify you by phone or email when your holds are ready. Wait times are longer than usual.  Thank you for your patience. 

  • Your items will be put in a bag with your last name and first initial.

Step two: Pick up your items.

  • Bagged holds will be on a cart outside of the building for contactless pickup.

  • To support physical distancing, please only one person at the cart at a time.

  • Outdoor signage at the library will guide you to the pickup-cart.

  • Your bag is labeled with your last name and first initial.

  • Grab your bag and enjoy!

Remember, the Willey building remains closed to the public. Please do not knock on the door or ask to enter the building.

What are you doing to protect the safety of patrons and library staff?

  • The contactless, curbside pickup model we are using provides maximum social distancing for the safety of our patrons and our library staff.

  • All physical materials are quarantined for 72 hours inside a closed paper bag, per CDC guidelines, before being checked out to you.

  • Staff wear a mask and gloves and wash their hands before and after handling materials.

  • Patrons and staff should respect the need for physical distancing and not approach one another. If you notice someone at the pickup-cart, please remain in your vehicle until the previous patron has departed.

  • Bags are a temporary measure to protect patron privacy, protect physical materials, and limit unnecessary contact. Bags help separate materials to avoid the need for patrons to sort through items on the pickup cart.
