24/7 pickup is now available at four new locker locations. In addition to Bothell and Covington, you can pick up holds in lockers outside of these libraries:
Send your holds to any of our private and secure lockers. (Use this map to find the nearest locker.) We'll call or email you when your items are ready. You'll have three days to pick up your items.
Need holds quickly or need more time to pick them up? Please send your holds to a library for pickup inside the building instead.
