Request Holds

As a library card holder, you may request to have library materials held for you. You may place holds on items currently available on the library shelf; however, the library cannot guarantee holds will be immediately filled as another library user may have already placed a hold on the materials.

When the materials become available, the library will contact you by email or telephone. We will hold your requested materials for 7 days. You may request a hold:

• In person at any library location
• On the phone (you must have your library account number handy)
• Through the online catalog
