Grande Prairie Library Curbside Pickup

Starting Tuesday, June 9, 10:00 a.m.

~ Start by requesting items on shelf at Grande Prairie Public Library by placing a hold online in the SWAN catalog (grandeprairie.org) , by phone at 708-798-5563, or by email to curb@grandeprairie.org. Pickup hours are M-T-F-S, 10 am to 2 pm and W-Th, 3 pm to 7 pm.  You will be notified when your items are ready for pickup. 

~ When you arrive for pickup, stay in your car and call us.  Staff will wear a name tag, mask, and gloves. They will check your ID and place items in your trunk or on your backseat.

~ Items will be held for pickup for 3 days. If you are unable to pick up materials, please call and cancel.  Also, please call and cancel any unwanted items on hold.  ALL materials must be returned in the book drop.  For the time being, AV materials can be returned in the book drop as well.

~ Returned items must be quarantined for 72 hours before being checked in. Note: this means items will stay on your account for approximately 3 days.  However, at this time, no overdue fines are being charged on current transactions.

~ Please keep in mind, there may be extended wait times for requested materials due to the quarantine time needed for returned materials. 

GPPL curbside is only available to GPPL patrons.  Items will not be available for pickup at other libraries and interlibrary loan is currently unavailable.
