Front Door Pick Up Continues at Walkertown

In order to ensure the health and safety of our patrons and staff while still ensuring everyone has access to a bit of novel relief during this time, all Forsyth County Public Library buildings are closed to the public.

If you want to pick up books at Walkertown Branch Library, whether you know in advance what book you want or not, please read ahead for more information!

Forsyth County Public Libraries asks all patrons to please keep any checked out items through May 15, 2020. Loan periods will be extended and fines will be waived during this time.
More information about this announcement can be found at this page.

At Walkertown Branch Library, we have a few options available in choosing the books you will take home:

1. Go Window Shopping
   
   Walkertown Branch Library has the benefit of ledged windows where we have displayed new releases, DVDs, audiobooks, and more for you to check out. Like a pastry shop, you can point through the glass at the item you would like and we can grab it for you, gloved hands and all.
2. Place Holds via Catalog
   If you know exactly which book you would like to check out, you can browse our online catalog and place a hold online. You will need your library card number and pin to place a hold online. You can follow these detailed instructions.
   If you receive an error message saying the item cannot be placed on hold, don’t worry! Many libraries in NC Cardinal are no longer sending the copies out to outside counties, these items are unavailable and cannot be placed on hold. Double-check the item you’re trying to place on hold has a copy in Forsyth County and place that version on hold.
3. Place Holds via Phone
   If you know which book you would like to check out, but would rather talk to us over the phone to do so, you may call the front desk at (336) 703-2990 to talk to a librarian. We can look a book up in the catalog and grab it off the shelf for you.
