Limited Indoor Browsing

Beginning March 8, the Grandview Heights Public Library will offer Limited Indoor Browsing 6 days a week. 

Browse our full collection of materials, use a computer, make photocopies, pick up tax forms, or get a library card.

NOTE: Your reserved items will continue to be available ONLY at the Drive-Thru Pickup window open 7 days a week. 

The library continues to follow local and national safety guidelines. To help slow the spread of COVID-19 in our community, the library will limit the number of patrons inside the library. Patrons are limited to one 60-minute visit per day. Face masks are required and are provided at the library entrance.

Use self-checkout on your smartphone to minimize your contact at the library – download the free “Grandview Heights Public Library” app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. 

Our Drive-Thru Pickup service continues to be the safest option for accessing library resources. Reserve your items online at ghpl.org or contact library staff with your material requests or account questions. Staff are available via webchat at ghpl.org, by email at ghpl.org/contact, or by phone at 614-486-2951. As always, our digital collections, research and learning databases, and other services are available 24/7 at ghpl.org.  

Thank you for your patience and support as we continue to provide library services as safely as possible.

We look forward to seeing you at the library again!
