Curbside Pickup

Musser Public Library & HNI Community Center offer curbside pickup. Our curbside pickup service will allow for pickup of items at the library. The curbside pickup location is located directly outside the East Entrance of the Library, adjacent to the Handicapped Parking spots.

Patrons are asked to park at the East Entrance near the sign for “Curbside Pickup”.

Once you have been notified that your hold/s are available, please call the library at 563-263-3065 ext. #1 to schedule a pickup time.

Materials already held, or that have been placed on hold will be available for pick up. Please call to make an appointment.

The library encourages patrons to wear masks during curbside pickup.
