Place a Hold on an Items

To place a hold on an item means that you are requesting that item after the present person or last hold has returned the item to the library. You will then be called or emailed that the item is in the library’s possession and ready for you to pick up. We will hold the item at the library for 3 days, DVD’s are held for 1 day only, before either moving on to the next hold or returning it to the shelves.

You will not be able to place a hold on anything if you have a fine or overdue item.

On-Line Instructions: Go to the On-Line Card Catalog, and in the top menu bar you will see “Log In.” Click “Log In,” then continue by typing in your user name and password and clicking the “Log-In” button. From here, locate the book you would like to place a hold on by searching the item’s name, series, or author. Once you get to the page that the item is listed on, click it’s blue title. Once on the Title Page, you can see if it is currently available and if it has any holds placed on it. You can still place holds on available items and items with holds. Click the “Place Hold” on the left of the window.

Reserve Items

Reserving an item means that you are requesting it for a specific date in time. You can not place a reservation if you currently have a fine or overdue item and you will be expected to pick-up the item the day that you reserve it for, no notification will be made.

On-Line Instructions: Follow the same instructions for placing a hold on an item, but when you get to Title Page click “Place Reservation” instead of “Place Hold.”
