Library temporarily closing building, expanding curbside service

ROSEBURG, OR – In response to the surge in COVID-19 cases locally, Roseburg Public Library is temporarily closing the building and returning to expanded curbside service beginning next week.

The library building will be open from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Jan. 22.

Beginning Tuesday, Jan. 25, library staff will provide a different contactless, curbside delivery system than was previously offered. The service will be available every Tuesday and Thursday from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. while the building is closed.

To take advantage of this option, patrons should log into their accounts and place holds at roseburg.biblionix.com using their library card number and password (the default password is the phone number used to register the account). Patrons also may contact the library at 541-492-7050 or library@cityofroseburg.org to receive assistance.

Library staff will pull requested items from the shelves and check them out to patrons. To pick up materials, patrons should drive into the library parking lot, park in spaces designated “Curbside Pickup Only,” remain in the vehicle and call the number on the sign. Staff will deliver materials to the vehicle.

Patrons may return all library items at any time in the outside book drop, which is located in the northwest corner of the parking lot.

The library’s digital platforms remain available 24/7. Thousands of electronic books and audiobooks are available for readers of all ages through cloudLibrary and OverDrive. Each library cardholder may check out up to three items on cloudLibrary and six items on OverDrive at one time.

For more information, please contact Library Director Kris Wiley at 541-492-7051 or KWiley@CityofRoseburg.org.
