After you have scheduled your appointment, please call us to confirm your appointment slot. Curbside pickup is still available and is encouraged for anyone who is able to use it. Masks will be required at all times inside the library. We are able to provide curbside delivery for those who cannot or choose not to wear a mask.
If you're not able to come inside, you can place a hold online, call the library at 786-3060 or email me at jlukas@rcls.org to request items. You will be able to request items from the following libraries: Central Valley, Goshen, Haverstraw, Highland Falls, Highland Mills, Middletown, Monroe, New City, Stony Point, Thiells. Valley Cottage and West Nyack. You don't need to do anything special, the materials from these libraries will automatically pop up when you do a search. If an item you want is not available from any of these libraries, you can call a library not included in this list and request a curbside pickup from them directly. As usual, we will notify you when requested items are available for pick-up.
If you have suggestions or requests, please let me know. Please stay safe. We hope to see you all soon.
