Parkland Regional Library members are set up pretty nicely right now — with a new curbside pickup program, and a wealth of e-resources available to them.

Allison Moss is the Director of Parkland Regional Library, says the new contact-free pickup just requires you to call or email the library in advance, and place an order for a specific book.

“We are asking people to look at our local collections right now — so if you’re in Dauphin and going to pick up books in Dauphin — it’s best to take a look at what’s available in the Dauphin location.”

Once your order is placed, you’ll set up a convenient time for pickup, and librarians will set the books outside on a table for you.

Just remember to call the library when you arrive, or knock on the door if you don’t have a cell phone.

Anyone interested in setting up a library membership can do so over the phone. A membership gives you access to the curbside pickup service, and a variety of e-resources found on the Parkland Regional Library website. 

One of the e-resources available is called Libby — an online e-reader system with access to thousands of books. There’s also an online video streaming service called Kanopy that features courses, documentaries, and plenty of content for children and adults.
