Bolton Public Library update

The staff and Trustees of the Bolton Public Library wish to thank residents for their patience, cooperation, and enthusiastic use of our contactless pickup service.  We have a couple of positive developments to report:

  • Statewide interlibrary delivery is back up and running, though still not at its pre-pandemic pace. You can expect delays, but know that things are moving again.
  • In addition to requesting items from Bolton's library, you may now place requests for items owned by all C/WMARS networked libraries.
  • When your item(s) arrive, they will be quarantined for 72 hours per CDC guidelines.
  • When your item(s) are checked in here, you will receive an e-mail or text notification of their availability for pickup.
  • *No appointment is needed for pickup!!* (This is a big change.)  Starting at noon on the day you receive your notice, you may come to the Library entry to pick up your item(s). 
  • Your items will be available for pickup for 7 days, after which they will be returned to the owning library.
  • Your item(s) will be wrapped to protect your privacy, and they will already be checked out to you.  
  • Your package will be identifiable by your initials and house number.  
  • As always, anyone picking up at the Library is urged to wear a face covering while indoors and to observe distancing. We recommend that one person be in the entry at a time, and that others wait their turn outside.
  • The entry will be open for pickups on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 10 AM-6 PM, and Friday 10-5.  The entry will be closed Saturdays, Sundays, and Mondays.
