Reserves

If you would like an item from the library collection that is already out on loan, we can place a hold on the item or select CATALOG  to place a hold on the item via your home computer.  You will need to log in with your library card number and PIN number (usually the last four digits of your phone number).  The Library will call you when it is ready for pick up.  Due to high demand, reserved books need to be picked up within three business days.
