Santa Maria Public Library offers Grab-and-Go Book Bags with no due dates

SANTA MARIA, Calif. - Looking for something new to read, but don't have a specific title in mind? The Santa Maria Public Library has come up with a pandemic-friendly solution by offering new Grab-and-Go Book Bags.

The Book Bags are described as pre-packaged paper bags containing five books of mixed genres.

These books are not checked out to patrons and will have no due date. Guests are welcome to keep the Grab-and-Go books as long as they would like.

The bags will be available for pick up at the sidewalk service pick-up window from Jan. 4 to Jan. 9. Sidewalk pick-up window hours are from 10:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. weekdays and 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Saturdays.

The Santa Maria Public Library is located at 421 South McClelland Street.

At this time, the main library is open for sidewalk pick-up service, and for passport service by appointment while the Branch Libraries and Bookmobile are open for Grab-and-Go service.

All other in-person services are closed due to the Local Health Emergency declared by the county.
