We are thrilled to welcome you back inside the library for “Take Out” beginning Monday, July 6!

Oak Creek Public Library is dedicated to serving our community with access to vital resources – for leisure, learning, employment, and more – in a manner that is safe and allows our community to connect and heal. We have spent time over the past few weeks determining how best to do that, from reworking services to removing furniture.

We can’t wait to see you!

Curbside Pickup

The library will continue to offer Curbside Pick Up. The request/hold button has been turned back on in CountyCat. You may now go ahead and request items on your own! We are receiving deliveries from other libraries, so most materials are able to be requested.

Here is the new process for our curbside service:

  • Search for items in CountyCat.
  • Once you find an item you’d like, place a hold.
  • Once you receive a notification that items are ready for pickup, use our Curbside Pick Up service or stop in and check out your items.
  • Need an item that isn’t in the catalog, like 3D prints, crafts, or board games? Use this form to request those items.
  • PLEASE NOTE: As of July 6, Curbside Pick Up has moved to the west side of the library building (on S. 6th Street).
