Our Curbside Pickup service is still available, but we’re making some changes to the process. Appointments are no longer needed. If you have received a notification that your holds are available here is how you can pick up your items:

  • Call the branch where you have been notified your holds are located

  • Have your library card ready so that we can access your account

  • A staff member will then prepare your items and let you know when you can head to the branch for pickup (typically a one to two hour wait time)

A:

  1. Search the COSMOS online catalog to find materials you want to place on hold.
  2. Log into your account using your library card number and PIN. The library card number is printed under the barcode stripes on your card. If you have forgotten your PIN you can call your local branch phone number, or use our live chat service at www.ccplonline.org during regular library open hours.
  3. Place the items on hold and choose the most convenient library branch location where you would like to pick up your requested items. 
  4. When you receive notification (via email, phone, or text) that your holds are ready for pickup, call the branch where your holds are waiting. Email, text or phone notifications will contain a link to the reservation page. You may change your notification method by logging into your COSMOS account.
