Downers Grove Library Returns To Curbside Pickup Only

DOWNERS GROVE, IL — Due to the new coronavirus crisis, the Downers Grove Public Library will only offer curbside pickup starting Monday.

The library has set up three parking spots on Curtiss Street for curbside pickup. Library staff will bring out curbside pickup items and place them in the patron's trunk.

For returns, patrons can use the four book drops that are located on Curtiss Street and Forest Avenue.

In a news release, library officials said, "The health and safety of the Downers Grove Community is at the forefront of our decision-making. The reimplementation of Curbside Pickup has been carefully considered and planned, with great attention to safe material handling, social distancing, and workflow."

The library has put additional measures in place to help ensure the safety of staff and patrons. These measures include:

• Staff report to work only if they (and family members) are healthy.
• Limited staff members are allowed in the building at the same time.
• Social distancing guidelines are closely followed.
• Curbside Pickup procedures are designed to be contactless.
• PPE is provided for staff members. All staff are encouraged to wash their hands frequently.
• Workspaces are regularly cleaned with sanitizer.
