Library Takeout

Timberland Regional Library

By Michelle Maestas, Publisher/Editor and TRL July 10, 2020

Timberland Regional Library in Thurston County has started Library Takeout at the curb in certain locations from 1:00 PM-5:00 PM.  

The Library Takeout process is easy:

  1. Place Library materials on hold – online or by calling your local library 
  2. Wait for notification your holds are ready – email or phone 
  3. Arrive at the Library (1 – 5 p.m.) – look for Library Takeout signs 
  4. Call or text to let us know you’ve arrived (numbers are on the signs)
  5. Follow directions on safely picking up your materials 

Please note for returning library materials:

  • Check the schedule below for days & hours when return bins are open.
  • Please place your materials directly in bins
  • Do not hand materials to staff 
  • No bags, please place only library materials in the bins
  • No donations are being accepted at this time 

Wi-Fi Printing is available during Library Takeout hours. Please call the library to confirm when your print job will be available to pick up. Wi-Fi service remains available 6 a.m. to midnight.

Library buildings are still closed to the public which means there is no public access, no meeting rooms, no restrooms, and no computer use.

Additional services will be added after all five of our counties are in Stage 3 and the Governor has issued guidance to libraries on next steps for reopening.
