Curbside Printing:
You may also pick up print jobs through curbside. Please send your attachment to print@waterloopubliclibrary.org. Black and white copies are 10 cents per page and color copies are 25 cents per page.
You must pick up your materials within 7 days of receiving your "holds are available" notification. Unclaimed items will be checked back in and reshelved.
If you would like library staff to suggest materials for you, please fill out our new Shelf Service form for personalized recommendations. You may then place items on hold for future curbside pickup.
Returning Items: All returns may be returned either at the outdoor book drop located near the library’s main entrance or inside the building during library hours. Returned items will not be accepted at curbside pickup.
