Neighborhood Library Box Service

Calcasieu Parish Public Library cardholders may browse, check out, return books and videos, and pickup holds anytime—day or night. Grab your library card and PIN to get started. Don’t have a CPPL card? Check the requirements and visit your local branch for help.

Key Features:

• Collection/Content: The interactive kiosk offers a selection of books and DVDs/Blurays for both children and adults, featuring a mix of fiction and nonfiction titles.
• Browse and Check Out: Use the kiosk’s touchscreen to browse and check out items. 
• Returns: Items can be returned to this kiosk, and items will automatically be processed.
• Pickup Holds: A kiosk can be chosen as a pickup location for items from other locations. 

IMPORTANT:

• At this time, items in the Neighborhood Library Boxes are not holdable so that we can make sure they're always stocked. You can still browse ahead of time in our catalog and then use the touchscreen to find the items you want.
• Library staff only visit the kiosks once a week to pick up returns and drop off holds. You may have to wait several days to pick up a hold.
• Some books and videos will not be available for return or pickup at the kiosks if they are too big for the slots, Interlibrary Loans, or Talking Books.
• You can also pick up or return CDs, audiobooks, and magazines.
• However, special formats such as video games, devices, puzzles, and backpacks will not work with the kiosk.
