Borrowing
Reserves and Holds
Holds are placed on available items and will be retrieved from the shelves for you to pick up. If the item was not available, it will be put on reserve. When a reserved item is returned to the Library we will call you. When there are multiple reserves on an item, the first person to initiate the reserve is the one notified first.
Holds and requested items which are not collected within one week are returned to the shelves, or if there is another reserve on the item, the next patron is contacted.
You can reserve your items by phone, in person or online.
Loans and Renewals
You can renew or reserve your items by phone, in person or online. View our Renew or Reserve Online instructions. Your renewals start as of the current date, not when the item was originally due. Renewals are for two weeks and you may renew twice.
Interlibrary Loan renewals may be requested by phone or in person at either Branch.
Please make your request at least three days before the due date.
Why Can't I Renew Something?
If another patron has placed a reserve on the item, you will not be able to renew it and you will have to return the item by the due date. You cannot renew online on the due date.
Please contact the Library if you have any questions or for more information.
