Items returned to the library are quarantined for 72 hours. After that time, they are handled by our staff using PPE. When you use the Takeout service, your hold items are delivered to you in a paper bag. You can then quarantine the items safely in your home for an additional level of comfort and protection. Treat the materials using the same precautions you would when buying/putting away groceries. Please do not microwave items as this can cause fires. Please do not treat the materials with cleansers as this can damage the items.

Please put library materials in the drop boxes at any of our 22 branches. Please do not hand them to staff during scheduled Takeout appointments (hpl.ca/takeout). If you have dropped off library materials, but the items are still showing out on your account, rest assured they are here. HPL staff haven't had a chance to check them in yet. Fines will not accumulate.
