Library Currently Offering Curbside Service
The library is currently offering curbside service. You can place holds online or by phone. Once you receive the email letting you know that your books are ready, you can pick them up within curbside pick-up hours:
- Monday-Thursday: 10:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
- Friday: 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
- Saturday-Sunday: 1:00 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.
When you are ready to pick up your books, pull up to the front of the library and call us to let us know you're outside. Staff will be wearing masks for safety. We can put your books on the blue cart if you would like to maintain 6 feet of distance, or you can unlock your car doors, and we can set them on the back seat. Please tell us your preference when you call.
Please check our events calendar for online programming: www.collegedalepubliclibrary.org/events
If you have any trouble with online services, please call us so we can troubleshoot the problem: 423-396-9300.
Chattanooga Zoo Pass
Chattanooga Zoo has generously provided an annual membership card for the Library that can be checked out once a year per family for one week and used for zoo admission for 2 adults and up to 4 children per visit. (If the card is lost, a $30 lost fee will be charged, and if it is returned late, a $4 per day overdue fine will be charged.) There is a waiting list for the two Zoo Passes that we have, so place your hold now!
This partnership furthers the Chattanooga Zoo's commitment to education and their mission to engage and inspire our community to better understand and preserve wildlife by creating meaningful connections between people and animals.
