Sidewalk Service
The Rivera Library, 7828 Serapis Avenue, will remain closed; however, the library will continue to offer Sidewalk Service, giving residents access to books, music, and movies they want to borrow. Holds can be picked up on Tuesdays from 12:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and Wednesdays through Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. New holds can be placed by using the Library’s online catalog or by calling the library. Printing pick-up remains available through at all Sidewalk Service locations. All book drops remain open.
Laptop and Hotspot Loans
Do you know anyone without internet or a computer at home who would benefit from borrowing them—to apply for jobs, access homeschooling resources, or simply stay connected to information? Residents can now check out a kit with a Chromebook and wireless hotspot to access the internet (plus chargers) inside a handy carrying case from any Sidewalk Service location, including the Pico Rivera Library and Rivera Library. Please call either library to place a hold on a Laptop & Hotspot Loan Kit. Any adult with a regular library card can borrow a kit for three weeks, with the option to renew, if available.
