Starting Mid-May!

Library Parking Lot Renovation Coming Soon

The Baldwinsville Public Library will be undergoing a major renovation. Despite the lot being unavailable during this time, the library will remain open throughout the project. The expectation is that construction will start in mid-May.

Here is what you need to know:

Monday hours of operation will be changed to 9 am to 7 pm. All other hours will remain the same.

An appointment will guarantee entrance because NYS guidelines still mandate a limited number of people at any one time.

Parking

The lot adjacent to and behind the library’s lot.
Public parking spaces at Baldwin Canal Square.

Entrance

Will be at the door facing Virginia Street, across from Kinney Drugs.
Visit the tent before entering.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we will still be recording names for contact tracing.
Masks are still required, and hand sanitizer will be available.

Curbside pickup

Available during all open hours (see hours above).
To arrange for pickup call 315-635-5631.
Please allow at least 30 minutes before arriving to allow staff time to fulfill requests.
All cars must enter from East Genesee Street and pull up to one of two spots designated by signage.
To allow for traffic flow, there is no standing on the opposite side of the street.
Vestibule pickup will NOT be available.

Our external book drop

Will NOT be accessible during the renovation.
During regular business hours, please return materials to the tent.
After hours, there will be a locked book return box near the Virginia Street tent.

Two laptops

Will be accessible under the tent for use by those unable to enter the library due to mobility issues.
Please make a reservation before you come to be assured a computer.
Printing will be available from these computers.
Public computers inside are still accessible.

Let Us Browse for You! Service:

While browsing is one of the best parts of coming into the library, for some, it will not be feasible.
Call the Information Desk to discuss choosing materials chosen based upon criteria such as favorite author, genre, or subject matter.
Arrange for curbside pickup at the same time as your order.
Please allow at least one hour before picking up materials.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call, or email us at info@bville.lib.ny.us. Thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience during the renovation.
