Curbside Hold Pickup

The Aurora Public Library DIstrict is open for curbside hold pickup. Customers can place items on hold from home. Once your items are available for pickup, we will notify you when holds are ready to schedule a pickup time.

  • Santori Library: Enter the drive-thru lane. No appointment needed.
  • Eola Road Branch: Park in a designated pickup area and text your name to (630) 415-0199. A staff member will reply letting you know they are on their way.
  • West Branch: Park in a designated pickup area and call (630) 264-3624.

4.     Library staff will deliver materials in disposable bags with no direct contact:

Home Delivery Program

The Aurora Public Library Outreach Services Department (OSD) is pleased to announce the expansion of the homebound delivery program. This “no contact” delivery service is now open to Aurora residents who meet any of the following criteria:

  1. Illness, injury, or physical handicap regardless of length of time
  2. Customers who previously visited the Bookmobile as their primary library branch
  3. Customers previously served at lobby stops
  4. Vulnerable population (self-professed)
  5. Lack of reliable transportation
  6. Reside more than 2 miles from any branch  

Using the Mini B, this is strictly a drop-and-go holds delivery service. After determining qualification for the program, customers will place their own holds via phone or website, with a limit of 10 items per delivery. When the holds have arrived, OSD staff will contact the customer to arrange the delivery date and window of time. Items will be placed in disposable plastic bags and left at the customer’s front door. At this time, returns will not be picked up due to space limitations in the Mini B and the need for quarantine.

For any questions or concerns about home delivery, please contact the Outreach Services Department at 630-723-2705.
