When will the library building reopen? UPDATED October 19,2020 How do I use the curbside service? How do I make an appointment to pick up my requested materials? How can I get a library card? Not eligible for a TML Card? You can get a free eCard from Portland Public Library which will allow you to access many of the same digital resources. If you would like to open a temporary eResource library card, please email Portland Public Library at lending@portlib.org. How do I request books and other library materials? How can I find out what's available to request? Do you have a list of new books, new DVDs, and new audiobooks that are available to request? If I get multiple email notices about my materials, do I need to make more than one appointment to pick them up? What does a cancelled hold notice mean? My library card doesn’t work. What should I do? When I log into my account, I get a message saying that I need to contact the library. What does that mean? Do you have any online resources, such as downloadable eBooks and audiobooks? The library provides access to a number of resources you can enjoy from home using your TML card, including eBooks, downloadable audiobooks, streaming movies, and databases that include popular magazines. Click here for complete details on these resources and how to access them. What are you doing to ensure materials I borrow are safe? How do I schedule and appointment to pick up my requested items? What happens when I come to pick up my items? What if I'm unable to leave my home? I have items to return. What do I do with them? Where can I find a list of upcoming programs? Do you have any recordings of past programs?
No, you do not need to make more than one appointment if you’ve received multiple separate emails that your holds are ready and you can proceed to booking a curbside pick up appointment. We will bundle them all together for you.
If you received an email notifying you of a cancelled hold, most likely this means that we could not locate the item on the shelf for you and marked it as missing in our collection. We are sorry for the inconvenience!
If you try to access our online services and find a problem with your library card, it likely needs to be updated. Please call us at 799-1720, or send an email with your name, library card number, and current address to Julia Hoisington, our Circulation Librarian, at jhoisington@thomas.lib.me.us and we will update your card.
