  • I deleted my code, what do I do?
  • Call the library at (860)395-3184, and we can look it up. If the library is closed the Luxer locker company has an email and phone number (415)390-0123 to call which is listed on the locker screen under Help.

 

  • I never received an email or text message with a code.   
  • If you never received the email with the code, but you received an email from the library saying your hold item is in, call us to make sure we have your correct email.

 

  • I placed items on hold for locker pick up, but no longer want them.   
  • If you no longer want the items in the locker, contact us so we can remove them from your account.

 

  • I placed items on hold but forgot to select Acton Public Library Locker as my pickup location.
  • If you did not select Acton Public Library Locker as your pickup location, your items will be inside on the hold shelf. If you would like them in the locker, contact us either by phone or email and we can arrange a locker pick up.

 

  • I don’t have email, but I have a cell phone can I still use this service?
  • Yes! We can add your information into the locker system using your cell phone number.
