Last Updated 11/09/2023
The curbside pickup feature is a Library setting and can be enabled by Cardinal staff.
Currently curbside pickup appointment times are based solely on the Hours of Operation.
Curbside DOES take into account closed dates set in the Closed Dates Editor.
When your hold is checked in at the pickup library, patrons can set up a curbside pickup appointment.
Patrons will indicate the time and vehicle description.
Note
If a patron has scheduled a curbside pickup appointment, an email or text/SMS notification can be sent to confirm the appointment. This confirmation is not related to any specific hold or holds, but rather the appointment they requested, and does not use the hold-specific SMS or email notification settings. Therefore, if the SMS notification is enabled, and the patron has SMS settings, they will receive an SMS notification. Likewise for the email confirmation option. It can prompt them to log into their account or call the library in order to alert staff that they have arrived for their pickup appointment. The notice message is customizable.
Staff can access the curbside pickup module from the circulation tab on Evergreen's staff navigation top menu.
Once the appointment time has come, you can let the patron know the materials are ready for pickup.
Once they arrive, patrons can let the staff know they are outside.
Staff may then check out the material to the patron.
