Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is Books to Go?

Books to Go is the program the North Ridge Library is running during the 2020-2021 school year to allow students to continue to check out books. Like the public library, the library is closed to browsing, but students may place library books on hold online and pick them up.Once the books are ready, Ms. Lumb will email families. Families will receive books at the drive-through Friday pickup.

How do students place books on hold?

Watch this video for more information. Students are also learning about placing holds during their September library lesson in Google Classroom.

What does the Friday pickup look like?

On Friday mornings, from 10 am - 11 am, Ms. Lumb will be on the sidewalk at the front of North Ridge. If you receive an email that your child’s holds are ready, please come by the school during that time. Write your child’s name on a piece of paper and place it in the window of your car. Once you are in front of the school, stay in your car, and pop your trunk. Ms. Lumb will put your held books in the trunk of the car and take any books that need to be returned.

I can’t do Fridays at 10.

That’s okay! Once you get the email that the books are ready, email Ms. Lumb back and let her know and she’ll send some other possible times during the school day.
