GUILDERLAND LIBRARY: Curbside services

Spotlight News by Spotlight News
July 16, 2020
in Blogs, Community Blogs, Opinion
Reading Time: 2 mins read

Our current hours for contact-free curbside services are: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Tuesdays and Thursdays 3 to 7 p.m. for both returns and checkouts.

Returns: Books, DVDs, CDs, audiobooks and video games deposited into a designated shed in our parking lot are quarantined for 72 hours, then sanitized before being returned to circulation. All fines are still being waived. Please continue to hold onto Library of Things items (gadgets, board games, folding tables, etc.) for now.

Checkouts: After requesting materials one of three ways – the UHLS catalog on our home page, the UHLS app, or by calling 518-285-0050 – we’ll notify you when your item(s) are ready for pickup. When you’re ready to pick up during our service hours, park in the library’s main lot, call Circulation at 518-285-0671, and pick up your materials at the library’s entrance. Questions? Call our temporary main number – 518-285-0050 – or email [email protected]

Anti-Racism Stance

The recently reinvigorated civil rights movement in our nation has spurred the entire Upper Hudson Library System community to closely examine our culture in order to ensure that our commitment to serving our patrons is applied equally across the diverse spectrum we serve. To that end, 12 GPL staff members recently participated in a virtual brainstorming discussion with 47 of their UHLS colleagues to establish a committee to assess library programs, services, recruitment, hiring, and other aspects of library operations over the next year or more. “Our overarching goal is to provide equal access to services for all, regardless of race or ethnicity,” said Guilderland Public Library Director Tim Wiles. “I’m delighted to see our staff’s strong interest in social justice manifested by participation in this voluntary effort.”

The UHLS Statement Condemning Racism and Pledge to Help Make a Difference, adopted July 8, by Executive Director Tim Burke and the UHLS Board of Directors, may be found on the home page of their website: https://www.uhls.org/. A wide array of anti-racism resources may be found at: https://uhls.overdrive.com/collection/1086653.
