Yes, the library does offer curbside pickup for qualifying patrons. You can use our library catalog to request items for curbside pickup. Detailed instructions are below.
Requesting Library Materials and Curbside Pickup
To Request Materials:
- Click on the Books & Media tab, then search for the material you want.
- Once you’ve found a title you want, click on the “Request” button in the green box located below the publication information.
- You will then be instructed to login to your library account. Students, staff, and faculty login with their username and password in the top login boxes. Visitors enter their name and barcode number from the front of your Samford Library card.
- Click the Submit button at the bottom of the form.
- If you would like us to cancel your request if not filled by a certain date, choose that on the next page, then click Submit.
- You should then get confirmation that Your Request was successful.
Once we pull those items and have them available:
- You will receive an e-mail to notify you they are ready for pick up.
- For those not allowed entrance to the building, there will be a link on that email to schedule an appointment for our Curbside Pickup Service.
- You just choose an available day/time, answer a couple of quick questions, then you’ll get an email confirmation for your appointment.
- On the day of your appointment, drive to campus and park in our designated Curbside Pickup spot (which is conveniently located near the book drop on the west side of the Library, near the rear entrance).
- Call us at 205-726-2748 to let us know you have arrived, and someone will bring your library materials out to you while you remain in your vehicle.
- Our phone number is also printed on the Curbside Pickup parking sign for your convenience.
