Pittenweem Community Library
& Information Centre

  Order and Collect

The library is still open for Order and Collect.

To comply with current Covid regulations, the library is closed to the public, but the Order and Collect service will continue. 

Libraries are allowed to offer an Order and Collect service, even under the latest lockdown rules, because the Scottish government regards books as an essential item.

Parents and carers are invited to use Order and Collect to borrow books and DVDs for their children.

Just choose books and DVDs from our online catalogue, email the library to tell us what you want and make an appointment to pick them up on Monday afternoons. 

When using Order and Collect 

  • Please wear a face covering when you collect your books.
  • Our Library volunteers will also wear a face covering and maintain social distancing.
  • Returns will go into a quarantine box.

 Food Waste Bags

We will also have food waste bags available for collection on Mondays between 2 and 3pm.  No appointment necessary – please just come along and pick up the food bags from the table at the entrance.

 

Books with Wings

 

Books with Wings is our exciting new service for parents and carers. 

We cannot let anyone inside the Library just now, but we can make the books fly out to you!  The Library is still lending books and can help you find what your children need.

Our Library stocks a range of fantastic children’s books, plus DVDs and audiobooks.

Let your child’s imagination take flight with the help of Pittenweem library!
