The Columbus Metropolitan Library has announced the three locations where curbside opening will begin.

Columbus Metropolitan Library will offer curbside pickup at three branches beginning Monday, as part of its phased reopening.


Gahanna, 310 Granville St.; Hilliard, 4500 Hickory Chase Way, and Parsons, 1113 Parsons Ave., will allow cardholders to pick up reserved materials or drop off returns. Hours are Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.


Customers will be notified when they have items at those branches ready for pick up. Those who have items ready to pick up at any other locations are advised to watch for updates for when additional locations will offer curbside pickup.


Book-return slots will be available at the three branches during the hours listed. There will be no access to the buildings.


Library officials say they will monitor the initial openings to determine when other locations will participate, possibly as early as June.


"We don’t anticipate Black Friday level demand," said spokesman Ben Zenitsky. "These will be the three guinea pigs. We’ll see what works and what doesn’t."


Other libraries have announced plans for curbside pickup: Bexley, Grandview Heights, Westerville and Upper Arlington.
