We are all clear and will be resuming curbside service today! If you've requested a pickup or have items on hold, we will be calling you to make arrangements. Thank you for your patience as we've made sure we keep everyone safe, and as we get caught up this week.

Following contact tracing protocols, Florence-Lauderdale Public Library is pausing our curbside service. This service change is a preventative measure to ensure the safety of our staff and patrons. The book drop will remain open for returns.

Our patrons have been excited to get library books again! We've already had over 150 curbside request forms submitted, & had 50 pickups in the first day. Thank you for supporting the library and for being patient as we figure out this new process. We love serving our community!

Curbside Pickup starts May 18! Visit flpl.org to request books and DVDs to checkout.

Our book drop is now open, so feel free to start returning your books and movies! No rush, though--all due dates have been extended until July 6. Returned items will be quarantined for 72 hours, so be aware that your items may still be on your account for about 3 business days.
