Service update: Curbside pickup

MacOdrum Library is now offering a limited curbside pickup & mailing service for print materials in our collection.  In this first phase only materials not available online will be eligible for a contactless pickup or mailing for students, faculty and staff. Faculty, staff, and students can start placing requests today and they will be filled on a first come, first served basis.  See the service guidelines and make your request online . The library building remains closed at this time. Note: Curbside pickup does not mean the resumption of interlibrary loans for print materials. If you have any questions, please email me at martha.attridgebufton@carleton.ca
