Our review mainly reflects the South Portland Branch as this is the one we are allowed to go to living on the edge of Scarborough/Portland limits. The Staff for curbside pickup have been very friendly and nice and understanding when we have multiple pickups.We do have one frustration and that is the limit of both the books and to the library in general. The library itself has been closed for the past nine months. We could understand it in the beginning because there was a lot of caution in the first few weeks of this virus. Now however, all the bookstores around are open, including the used bookstores. And the library has remained closed except for curbside pickup. During curbside pickup there is little to no interaction with the staff inside and your books stay in quaratine for almost a week. Now, they have closed to even curbside pickup. If our taxes pay for the libary why are we unable to use it? I understand limited staff but this has become ridiculous. We should be able to use our library. We were going above and beyond and so was some of the staff trying to do curbside pickup and now you want to close for weeks at a time after each holiday?It seems the Director and board would rather close down the library than do some critical thinking. If the bookstores are allowing returns around them without hesitation, than why are we unable to access something we have already paid for?
