Houston Public Library announced May 28 that it will launch HPL TO GO, its new curbside pickup service, starting June 1.

Items can be put on hold through the library website or by phone, with pickup available at 10 neighborhood locations. An email or phone notification will alert the customer when items are ready, and library staffers will bring materials out to the customer's car for pickup. Walk-up visitors and bicycle riders will also be served.

HPL staffers will wear masks and gloves, and all returned items will be held for 72 hours before becoming available again, according to HPL.
