Innovative library hold lockers open in Belfountain

August 16, 2017 · 0 Comments

Caledon Public Library (CPL) patrons in the Belfountain area now have an innovative way to access library materials.
The library holds lockers were officially opened last week in the recently renovated Belfountain Community Hall. Built in 1893 as a Mechanic’s Institute library, the hall will continue to serve the Belfountain community through this new technology.
Mayor, Allan Thompson along with CPL Board Chair Janet Manning, Board members, members of the public and CEO and Chief Librarian Colleen Lipp were in attendance for the ribbon cutting.
“CPL is committed to providing easy access to our library materials for the Belfountain community,” Lipp commented. “These lockers and the technology are a first for Caledon and allow us to meet the evolving needs and expectations of our residents.
The new lockers can be accessed 24-7 with a key code to enter the building.
Residents simply place a hold with their library card through the catalogue and select Belfountain Lockers as their pick-up location. An email (with the key code) is sent when the materials are ready to be picked up. Materials can also be returned through the locker system.
