Perry Memorial Library in Henderson announces a new curbside service available from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Monday through Friday.

You start by placing holds on materials through your library account or by calling the library at (252) 438-3316. If calling, have your library card number handy. Please make sure the library has the correct information to contact you when your holds arrive (email, phone or text).

For curbside delivery, you can receive up to five books or audio CDs and two DVDs.

When you receive notification that your holds are ready, come to the library and park in one of the designated spots in the parking lot on the Winder side of the building. Spots are near the entrance, next to the handicapped parking. Call or text the number on the sign and let library staff know you have arrived and your spot number.

There is a table set up, and staff will bring your holds out and place them on the table under your spot number, give you a big wave, and you can grab your holds from the table.

If you have books to return, please place them in the outside book drop.

If you are unable to leave your house due to physical limitations or COVID precautions, please call  (252) 438-3316, ext. 223, to arrange for no-contact delivery through the library’s adult outreach coordinator.

Perry Memorial Library looks forward to getting books, audiobooks and DVDs back in your hands!
