Timberland library pickup and return services resume Tuesday at most of its branches, but those services will take place outside the branches because the buildings are still closed to the public, the library system announced.

Here’s how pickups will work:

Place library materials on hold online or by calling your branch. Once you’ve been notified that your holds are ready, which will either be done by email or phone, go to the library between 1-5 p.m. and follow the “library takeout” signs. Call or text the number that is on the sign and follow the directions.

Masks are required for pickups, according to the library. Printing services also are available for pick up.

Here’s how returns will work:

Bins will be available between 1-5 p.m. Customers are asked not to use bags, but to place their items directly in the bins and not hand them to staff.

Book donations are not being accepted at this time.
