Luxer One

To provide locker services, the library has contracted with a third party, Luxer Corporation.

When you make a request for CRC Library pickup, the Library provides your name, email address, phone number, and Los Rios user ID to Luxer so that it can send you notifications via email and (if desired) text message. To use the lockers, you must accept accept Luxer One's terms of service. You may review these in advance at the Luxer One website.
