Wapiti Regional Library to Offer Curbside Pickup Services at Select Branches

Jun 10, 2020 | 9:34 AM

To help slow the spread of COVID-19 in Saskatchewan, Wapiti Regional Library closed their branch libraries to the public on March 20, 2020.

The region has continued to offer patrons access to educational and entertainment resources through their online content since then. While public libraries are slated to reopen more fully in Phase 4 of the Saskatchewan Government’s “Re-Open Saskatchewan: A Plan to Re-open the Provincial Economy,” Wapiti is please to announce that we will be able to offer access to physical materials again through Curbside Pickup Service. Wapiti will be starting curbside pickup services at seven of our branches on June 15, 2020.

Curbside Pickup will be offered at Wapiti’s Hudson Bay, Humboldt, Melfort, Nipawin, Shellbrook, Spiritwood, and Tisdale branch locations. The service will allow patrons to place hold requests, and check out items owned by their nearest Curbside Pickup location.

Here’s how to use the service:

• Place a hold on items owned by a curbside pickup location
• The library will notify you when your items are ready
• Schedule a pickup time
• Follow on-site pickup instructions
• Pick up your items from the designated pickup table
• Enjoy items for 4 weeks

“We’ve had supportive feedback from many patrons, who have expressed how much they have missed having access to library materials, as well as how much they are looking forward to the eventual reopening of our libraries,’ says Community Services Librarian, Lindsay Baker. Baker continues, saying that “Despite the closure of branches, Wapiti has not stopped working behind the scenes, which means that there will be new material available at our Curbside Pickup locations. While Wapiti plans and prepares for the Phase 4 re-opening of public libraries, we think it’s fantastic that we can provide some limited services to our patrons earlier via Curbside Pickup, while still following the province’s guidelines and protocols.”
