The Murrysville Community Library is open for in-person services. If you would like a curbside pick-up, please follow these instructions:

How to request a Curbside Pick-Up

    1. PLACE ITEMS ON HOLD
      Visit our catalog to search for items currently available at our location. Be sure that your pick-up location is Murrysville Community Library. If you have questions you can call (724-327-1102) or email the Library at murrysville@wlnonline.org. Please note that wait times for holds may be longer than usual.
    2. WAIT FOR NOTIFICATION
      You will be contacted when your hold has been processed. Please do not come to the Library if your hold is not ready.
    3. PICK UP YOUR ITEMS
      Pull up to the curb outside the Library and call us at 724-327-1102. Give the staff member your name and let them know you are there to pick up your holds. Staff will check out your items, put them in a plastic bag, and bring your items out to you. If you do not pick up your items by their unclaimed date, they will be shelved.
    4. RETURN YOUR ITEMS
      All items may be returned to the Library via the Library’s book drop or inside the Library. If you are returning a LaunchPad or Wonderbook, please call to schedule a time to return these items. LaunchPads and Wonderbooks can be damaged if returned via the Library’s book drop.

FAQ

Can someone else pick up my item?

To have someone else pick up your items, call the Library and give the staff member the first and last name of the person picking up your items. This is so we can ensure all items are going to the intended patron(s).

How will I know my items are ready for pick-up?
