CURBSIDE GRAB-AND-GO!

PWPL is proud to announce the launch of our Curbside Grab-and-Go service! Reserve any of your favorite library items (not just books!) online and, when they are ready, we will notify you to come by the library building for a contactless pickup out front. Hours are Monday through Friday, 9 am to 6 pm (hours subject to change). As per ALA and OCLC guidance, all returned library materials are quarantined for 72 hours to ensure safety.

Message From The Library Director

As we confront the unacceptable racial injustices across our country, notably the recent horrifying killings of George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, we will continue in our mission as a public library to enhance the well-being of every member of our community.

Bring it Back!

PWPL is now accepting returned materials! Patrons can drop off any library items they have had at home these last few months (including materials on loan from other Nassau County libraries) at PWPL starting June 15. In accordance with CDC and ALA guidelines, materials will be quarantined for 72 hours after being returned to the library. This is the first step in implementing additional physical services such as curbside pickup, slated to launch soon!
