GC Library Remote Lockers are for more than just books.
By Erin Baber
The Garland County Library now offers Remote Book Lockers – item pick-up and drop-off services in three new locations in Garland County with extended hours at a fourth location.
Remote Book Lockers are free-standing devices that library staff stock with a patron’s requested and available items. Patrons can visit the device at their leisure within a seven-day period to retrieve their items. Anything that can be placed on hold from the library – books, movies, video games, cake pans, board games, etc – can be picked up from a remote locker.
Find remote lockers in the following locations:
- Outside the Garland County Library – 24/7 access
- Inside the Hot Springs Family YMCA, 130 Werner St. – open business hours
- Outside at Mid-America Park, 401 Mid America Blvd – 24/7 access
- Outside the Sunshine Store, 3129 Sunshine Rd in Royal, 24/7 access
The lockers are easy to use. First, find items online at www.catalog.gclibrary.com.
Login with a library card number and a PIN (if unsure of either of these numbers contact the library). Place items on hold and chose where to route the item; then wait for a notification that the item is available. Visit chosen locker, scan library card or barcode from mobile app, and retrieve the item from an open locker. Each locker now has an item return box for patron convenience.
The Garland County Library is located at 1427 Malvern Avenue in Hot Springs. Learn more about the library and its services at www.gclibrary.com or by calling 501-623-4161.
