Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Is it safe to borrow library materials during the pandemic?
Working with approval from local health authorities and following guidance from the NYS Governor, we are taking all precautions to ensure that materials on our shelves and those that are returned to us are safe to be handled by members of the public.
How does curbside service work?
Wood Library is offering patrons curbside pickup as an option to pick up requested items at the library. Patrons park in the designated parking spots, call the provided library number, and reserved items will be delivered right to their cars by a library staff member. Patrons must have already been notified by the library that their items are available to take advantage of curbside pickup.
When does contactless curbside pickup begin and what will the hours be?
Hours are:
Monday-Thursday – 9:00am-6:00pm
Friday – 9:00am-6:00pm
Saturday – 10:00am-5:00pm
How do I place an order for contactless curbside pickup?
You have two options for requesting material using curbside pickup.
- Place a hold through the online catalog and you will be notified when your items are ready for pick-up.
- Request items over the phone at 585-394-1381 if you know what you’d like but need assistance. We’ll ensure we understand your needs and can locate items for you.
Do I need to bring my library card?
No but please bring your ID to confirm your identity. We will check out your holds to you ahead of your arrival.

What if I don’t know what I want to borrow?
No problem! Our library staff are experts at selecting materials based on your preferences. Whether you are looking for picture books for the kids or engaging mysteries for yourself, we can help you find great content. Please call the library and speak to a librarian for assistance.
Can I return items to the library?
Yes! Our book drops are open 24/7 as well as our indoor book drop.
Can I apply for a library card?
During our period of closure, there are a few options to gain access to library materials. New York State residents can apply for a New York Public Library card through the SimplyE app—and gain access to an array of digital resources, including e-books,audiobooks, databases, and more. You can also now apply for a library card online by clicking here. You will receive a physical library card in the mail to use to access downloadable ebooks and audiobooks and other online resources. Visit the library with a photo ID and document with mailing address listed within six months of receiving your card, and you can then check out materials right from Wood Library too!
I need internet access. What can I do?
Public computers are available and our wifi is on! Use our computers or bring your your own. The wifi signal is stronger closer to Wilcox Lane. Wifi hotspots are also available for checkout.
