Our parking lot renovation is in its fourth week!
We are a primary voting site. The parking lot will be available just for voting on Tuesday, June 22nd.
Due to a storm on Sunday, we lost another tent. Below is a shot of its shortlived flight! Now look for the blue tent on Virginia Street to get into the library.
The parking lot will be closed on Wednesday, June 23rd and until further notice.
Here’s what you need to know
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.
New Monday hours, new temporary entrance and alternative parking:
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. Masks must still be worn inside the building.
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 for all unvaccinated individuals, and hand sanitizer will be available.
Curbside pickup
- Available during all open hours (see our hours below).
- 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 usual 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 next to the Virginia Street tent.
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.
