Starting on Tuesday, February 11, the Library will temporarily close for a recarpeting project. 

The closure is expected to last for approximately two weeks, during which time patrons can take advantage of curbside service for material pickups Tuesdays through Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

How to Utilize Curbside Service:

• Step 1 – Place a hold on physical books, audiobooks, movies, etc. that show as available in the Library's online catalog, https://catalog.hplibrary.info. Once you search and find an available physical item you would like to hold, click on the “Place Hold” button. Next, log in with your library card number and PIN. Then click on the “Submit Hold” button.
  • If you prefer, you have questions concerning placing holds online, or you would like suggestions for materials, Library staff are happy to assist you by phone, 214-559-9400, or email, hplibrary@hplibrary.info, during regular Library hours. 
• Step 2 – Receive email notification from the Library that your holds are ready for pick up.
  
  
• Step 3 – Visit the Library’s entrance on Saint Johns Drive and park in a designated Library parking spot.
  
  
• Step 4 – Call the Library at 214-559-9400 to inform staff you have arrived to pick up your material. Staff will confirm your name and library card number at this time, as well as ask for the make, model, and color of the vehicle you are driving. 
  
  
• Step 5 – Library staff will deliver the material to your vehicle.

Special Considerations:

• There is a limit of 10 items for curbside service.
• Extended Due Dates and Waiving of Fines/Fees – Library materials checked out will not be due until after the library reopens. Please continue enjoying materials at home instead of returning them through the book drop. Fines and fees for materials will be suspended from accruing during the closure as well. 
• Your library card must be current and in good standing (fines under $5) to use this service. 
• All the Library's digital content services are available. For more information, please visit https://www.hptx.org/170/eBooks-More.
