To Our Wonderful Community
As you all know, the library is closed until the schools reopen in order to protect the health of the community. This is in accordance with our emergency policy and local and national governmental recommendations.
However, we are still working on ways to provide our patrons and community with some basic services. Starting Tuesday, March 24th, we will be offering curbside service for book and DVD pick-up from 10 AM to 2 PM Tuesday through Friday and from 11 AM to 1 PM on Saturday. We plan to continue this service until we reopen, so long as staff are available.
You can request materials through the curbside service in one of two ways: First, you can go into our online catalog - https://piedmont.blackhills.bywatersolutions.com/ - and place a hold for materials that are owned by the Piedmont Valley Library. Second, you can also give us a call at 1-605-718-3663 and let us know a) the name associated with your library card, b) a phone number where you can be reached, c) your library card number (optional), and d) either the title(s) and author(s) of the materials you would like to request or a subject/genre/age range/quantity around which you would like us to put together a mystery bag. Whichever option you chose, we will give you a call when your materials are ready for pick-up. Call us at 1-605-718-3663 when you arrive at the library during our curbside service hours and let us know a) who you are and b) what kind of car you are driving. We will bring your materials out to you in a plastic bag and leave them on the sidewalk in front of your car, you are responsible for retrieving your materials from this location.
All late fees are waived for the duration of the closure and materials can be returned via the drop box on the front of the building. All materials are disinfected when returned to the library. Due to the number of libraries that are currently closed, all Inter-Library Loan services are cancelled until we reopen.
One more important note, while we are physically closed, we do offer a variety of online services and databases! This includes Overdrive and Libby for access to thousands of ebooks and eAudiobooks https://blackhills.overdrive.com/; our new Virtual Story Times https://www.facebook.com/PiedmontValleyLibrary/videos/670324220467117/; regular Facebook posts on databases and current information; and a comprehensive list of databases provided by the South Dakota State Library free to South Dakota residents https://library.sd.gov/LIB/ERD/complete.aspx. If you have any questions about these services, please feel free to email us at piedmont.library@hotmail.com for more assistance.
I would like to thank you all for your patience and understanding during this difficult time, know that we are working hard to provide the best possible services while still protecting the community,
Megan Eggers
Library Director
