Drive-Through Window Service To Resume Next Week At Five Springfield-Greene County Libraries

You won’t be able to go inside any Springfield Greene County libraries next week, but you can use the drive-through window service at five facilities beginning Monday, May 4th.

Here’s the information reported in a news release by the library district:

Drive-through window service will resume at five Springfield-Greene County Libraries at 7:30 a.m. Monday, May 4. It is the library’s first step in restarting services after closing on March 17 on orders of city and county government and health officials.

No date has been determined for resuming any other services or reopening the district’s 10 branches to the public.

Visitors may return books and pick up holds from 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday-Saturday at the Library Center, Library Station, Schweitzer Brentwood Branch, and the Republic and Willard branches. Outdoor book drops at those branches will be open only 7:30 a.m.-6 p.m. those days.

For the time being, only materials  previously put on hold and requested to be picked up at those five locations may be picked up. Patrons will be notified in the usual manner when their items are ready to be picked up.

Branch locations are Library Center, 4653 S. Campbell Ave.; Library Station, 2535 S. Kansas Ave.; Republic Branch, 921 N. Lindsey Ave., Republic; Schweitzer Brentwood Branch, 2214 Brentwood Blvd.; and Willard Branch, 304 E. Jackson St.

Limited service could begin at a later date at the five other branches including Midtown Carnegie, Park Central, Ash Grove, Willard, Fair Grove and Strafford branch libraries.

Here are other details:

  • Materials on hold will have been quarantined for 24 hours before being given to patrons at the drive-through. Items returned will be quarantined for 24 hours before being reshelved.

  • Branch telephones will not be answered during the first reopening phase. Patrons may call the Infoline at 882-0714. Staff will retrieve messages and return calls from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Monday through Saturday; and 1-5 p.m. Sunday. Infoline staff cannot answer questions about a patron’s personal account or give access to digital resources. Those questions should be submitted to Ask a Librarian at thelibrary.org/contact.

  • Staff and patrons will be required to maintain a 6-foot distance during drive-through service.
