SimplyE
Schulenburg Public Library joins the first wave of small rural libraries to
offer their card holders Texas E-Read on-line downloading for a large
selection of e-books, including popular fiction and non-fiction titles in
sufficient copies to keep hold lists short. The SimplyE mobile app can be
downloaded from either Apple or Android app stores. Both types of mobile
devices can access the catalog of titles by providing a library card ID
number for login ID, and its associated phone number as the required PIN
number.
Patrons can browse the e-book bookshelf, click to select a title, click again
to check it out and click to open and read it. This three click feature of the
SimplyE app makes titles from locally acquired e-books and others now
on the Texas OverDrive system easy to select and read. Library Director,
Thadious Polasek, believes that the new program will be very popular by
the Library’s rapidly growing number of e-book reading adult patrons.
For additional information and questions, please contact a member of the
Schulenburg Public library staff at (979) 743-3345.

Limited Curbside Servic
The Schulenburg Public Library will start limited curbside service May 12th, 2020. Curbside service will be available from Tuesday through Friday. Patrons must call in their requests Monday through Friday between 11AM and 3PM. Please do not leave requests on the library phone answering machine. During the patron’s call, a pick-up time between 2PM and 5PM will be arranged. The books and DVDs will be placed on the bench by the library door for pick up. People picking up the books must wait in their car until the books are placed on the bench and the library staff returns inside the library. If the patron misses their pick-up time, the patron must call and rearrange a new pick up time. The books and DVDs will only be held for 3 days and given to another patron if not picked up. This procedure is for the protection of the public and the staff. This policy will be reviewed and modified based on observed needs. The library will publish the building opening date and safety precautions at a later date.
For patron safety, all library materials checked out and returned will be disinfected and quarantined prior to checking them out to the next patron.
Due to the cost of disinfecting books, we are not accepting book donations for our book sale.
The library meeting room is not available for booking.
WiFi is available in the library parking lot.
