Riverside announced on Friday that public library book lockers have been placed throughout the city and will celebrate with a demonstration and ribbon cutting later this month.
“Picking up a book from the Riverside Public Library has never been easier with the creation of book lockers at seven locations around the city,” a news release from the City stated.
The City outlined the four-step process for obtaining a book:
- Select a book from the online catalog
- Select a locker at the facility where you want to pick up the book
- Wait for an email or text that your book is ready for pick-up
- Use your library card number to retrieve your book from the locker
The ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the new option is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 27 at the Main Library located at 3900 Mission Inn Avenue.
In addition to the Main Library, lockers are available at the Stratton Community Center at Bordwell Park, Orange Terrace Community Park, Marcy Library, La Sierra Senior Center at La Sierra Park, Arlanza Community Center at Bryant Park, and Renck Community Center at Hunt Park.
