How it works:

First, submit a request to the Library for the materials you would like to borrow:

  • Online through our catalog: https://wd.catalog.lionlibraries.org/
  • Speak to a staff person by calling 203-389-3433 (Monday to Friday, 10 am to 5 pm)
  • Leave a voicemail message any time (Please include your full name with spelling, phone number, and library card number along with your request)
  • Send us an email to askus@woodbridgetownlibrary.org (Please include your full name, phone number, and library card number along with your request)

If you don’t know your card number, please provide us with your address so that we can look you up in our database.

Second, the Library Staff will gather the items you would like to borrow. This includes books (regular and large print), CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays, audiobooks—from the adult, YA, and children’s collections.

Due to the large volume of requests, we are pulling items in batches. We are not pulling items as we receive requests; please be patient. 

Patrons will be limited to checking out five items per card per day. In addition, only items owned by the Woodbridge Town Library are currently available for checkout.

Third, your items will be checked-out to your Library Account and you will be contacted.

We will either call or email you depending on your Library Account preferences.

Please allow 30 minutes from the time of your “ready for pickup” email or phone call from the Library for staff to put your items on the Park & Pickup table. 

Finally, pick up your items at the front door of the library from the Park & Pickup table.

Items will be in a stapled bag with a labeled with the borrower’s full name and checkout date.

  • Each bag will include a copy of an itemized due date slip.
  • Items can be picked up Monday & Thursday (11 am to 7 pm) and Tuesday/Wednesday/Friday (11 am to 4 pm).

Please respect social distancing rules while waiting to approach the table.

  • If you are dropping off items when picking up your new items, please place the returns in the blue bin next to the table.
  • If you are returning items at any other time, please return all items in the book drop located to the left of the library’s front doors. 

  • All returns have to be quarantined for at least three days before they can be checked in. They will be on your library account until we check them in; no fines will be charged during this time.
