Grafton Public Library Curbside Pickup Service Policy and Procedures

Although your library is open to the public four days per week, we have two days per week dedicated to curbside service for those patrons who prefer. Patrons may also make use of curbside service any day the library is open to the public as well.

Curbside service only hours:

 Tuesday and Wednesday (10-1pm & 2-5pm)

Follow two easy steps to collect materials from the Grafton Public Library pick-up bins, located on the front porch of the library. These bins can be accessed 24/7.

Step one: Place your items on hold.

Step two: Pick up your items.

Browse the FAQs below for more detailed information. If you need further assistance, the librarian is here to help. Call  802-843-2404 or email librarian@graftonpubliclibrary.org. during hours of operation.
