Othello Library Offers Free Printing Along With Curbside Pickup Service

Mid-Columbia Libraries’ (MCL) Othello Branch is open for curbside pickup of books and materials, and now the library offers a free print drop and pickup service as well.

Anyone, including non-cardholders, can get up to five free pages printed daily using the online print drop service. Customers can upload their file(s) using the link found on the branch website, midcolumbialibraries.org/branch/othello. Most common file types, including PDF and Microsoft Office files, are accepted. MCL respects customer privacy and will not share or store file information.

To retrieve prints, customers can call the branch at (509) 546-8020 to let staff know when they will arrive to pick up their prints. They should park in the curbside pickup location in the alleyway just off Main Street next to the branch, located at 101 E. Main St in Othello.

For all curbside pickup needs, customers should open their trunk and wait inside their vehicle. Customers are strongly encouraged to wear face coverings when using curbside pickup services.

The service is available during regular branch hours, Monday through Friday from 11 am to 7 pm and Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm. For more information visit the branch web page at midcolumbialibraries.org/branch/othello.

Books and materials can also be returned to the branch using the drive-up returns box, also located in the alley next to the building. Returned items will be quarantined for 96 hours.

Othello library is the first of MCL’s 12 branches to offer curbside pickup since temporarily closing in March due to the statewide stay home order; all other MCL branches and Bookmobile remain closed until further notice. Cardholders can access thousands of eBooks, eAudiobooks, eMagazines, streaming video, and more 24/7 at midcolumbialibraries.org.
