The Champlain Public Library in Vankleek Hill has set up its own curbside service for patrons. Just email to library@bc-cl-ca or phone 613-678-2216 and order a specific book or other item from the library’s online catalogue at www.bc-cl.ca . Library staff will phone to arrange a specific pickup time when the library is open from Tuesday to Friday. Patrons must stay in their vehicle when they arrive and show their library card when asked. Staff will then either place the items in the trunk or place them on the ledge for patrons to collect after staff have gone back inside. The book drop is also open and all materials returned go into 72-hour quarantine for cleaning before they become available again for loan. Deliveries to homebound residents are also available by phone. —photo Gregg Chamberlain
