Have you noticed a set of lockers outside of Matthews-Fuller Library, next to the book drop? We offer contactless and after-hours pickup of books! You can request books and have them placed in a locker, so that you can pick them up without coming into the library or outside of our normal hours of Monday-Friday 8:30-5.
Sign into your library account through the library catalog page, find the books you want, and click the Request button to place them on hold. Choose Matthews-Fuller as your pickup location.
Wait until you receive a notice from the library telling you that your hold is available. When you do, forward that email to Matthews-Fuller.Library.Circulation@dartmouth.edu and ask to have your items placed in a locker. Library staff will check the books out to you, put them in a locker, and email you a locker number and electronic code to retrieve your items.
You can also do this for interlibrary loan materials using the same procedure – when you get that hold notice, just let us know you’d like to use a locker for pickup!
