Curbside Service

Curb side service at JWL
One of the amazing things that has come from the insanity in 2020 is businesses and such have made curb side service work.

While we have ALWAYS been glad to accommodate the needs of our patrons, we feel making it official is best.

How does it work? Pretty easily for our patrons that have their cards.
  • Go to cat.jwlwhitebluff.com and sign in to your account using your library card number and pin.
  • Browse the catalog and reserve the books/materials that you would like. We currently have a limit of 2 items.
  • OR call us with your selections and we can take care of it that way also.
  • We will call you or email you when your items are ready. We limit the hold for 5 days before returning them to shelves.
  • When you arrive, you can either come in and get your items or call us and let us know you are here.
  • Once you are finished with the items (14 day loan) you can drop them in the book return that is on the north side of the building (facing the fire hall)

Conditions of Curbside Checkout:
By using our curbside service, you the patron, acknowledge that you will abide by the Jennie Woodworth Library checkout agreement. Materials are checked out for 14 days at a time. If those materials are late they incur a $0.25 fine per item per day. Renewal after the item is late does not remove existing fine. In addition, in order to use our curbside service, your account must be in good standing.
