Curbside Services
Checkouts: Current hours for contact-free curbside checkouts are: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., and Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 3 to 7 p.m. 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 curbside service hours, park in the library’s main lot, call Circulation at 518-285-0671, and pick up your materials on a table at the library’s entrance.
Returns: Borrowed items may be deposited Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. into one of five sheds in our parking lot (designated by the green canopy). All items are quarantined for 96 hours, then sanitized externally before being reshelved. All fines are still waived for the time being.
