Curbside Pick-Up

Yes, we offer curbside services! 

You can request and pick up library materials through our curbside service! Curbside Pickup is available any time that the library is open.

1. Place a hold: Place a hold on the item(s) you’d like, and select “Hamilton Circ/Curbside Pickup” as the pickup location.

2. Get an email: When your items are ready for pickup, we’ll send you an email to let you know.

3. Drive-up: Once your materials are ready, drive up to Rentschler Library and park in the designated library pickup parking spot on the other end of Wilks Conference Center (near Phelps Hall) — see the map below for more details.

4. Call: When you’re here, call us at 513-785-3235 and let us know. Texting isn’t supported, so please call. Inside the library, we’ll check your items out and bag them up for you.

5. Enjoy!: We’ll bring your items out to your car and you’ll be ready to enjoy.

Can I Pick up My OhioLink Requests?

You can also use curbside service to pick up items you requested through OhioLINK. When you request an item through OhioLINK, select “Hamilton Lib. Circ Desk ” as your location. When you receive the email that your items have arrived, follow the directions listed above for curbside service.

What About Returns?

This one’s easy: use the book drop slot on the outside of Schwarm Hall, next to the archway.

At this time we cannot accept returns curbside, but if you require assistance making your returns please call 513-785-3235 for accommodations.
