Library in a Box

Pick up your library materials at a location near you!

Simply place your holds on a special library card and have your items delivered to a Library in a Box at one of the following locations:

Kroger, 200 E. Brannon Road, Nicholasville

Wilmore City Hall, 210 S. Lexington Avenue, Wilmore

How It Works

Once you have a Library in a Box card, place holds on that card in person, via the online catalog, or over the phone.

We are currently able to deliver:

  • Books
  • Books on CD
  • DVDs and Blu-rays
  • Music CDs
  • Playaways

When the items you’ve placed on hold become available, we will deliver them to your chosen location and let you know.

To retrieve your items, enter your library card number when prompted. The box holding your materials will then pop open.

The items are already checked out to you, and the due date can be found on the attached receipt.

At each Library in a Box location, you will also find book drops for returning the materials to the library.

Schedule

We deliver holds and empty book drops as follows:

Kroger/Brannon: Monday, Wednesday, and Friday

Wilmore/City Hall: Monday (book drop pick-up only), Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday
