Curbside Pickup

The Ocean City Free Public Library offers a “Curbside Pickup Service.” This service allows patrons to borrow library materials without coming into the building.

Guidelines:

  • The OCFPL’s curbside pickup service allows our library patrons to borrow all library materials; the service also offers items for pickup such as remotely printed pages, faxed materials, and more.
  • Pickup times are Monday - Friday 9am to 6pm, Saturday from 9am to 4pm, and on Sunday from 11am to 4 pm. (Holiday hours may vary)
  • All curbside pickup services will be from the Library’s 17th Street entrance.
  • Please address any questions or comments regarding the OCFPL’s curbside pickup services to curbside@www.oceancitylibrary.org or (609)399-2434 x5226.
