How do I place an item on hold?

Answer

You can call any of our locations and we can place holds for you over the phone.

It is also possible to log into your library account and place a hold through the catalog when you find items you would like to request.

Once you have logged in using your name, library card number and PIN (typically the last 4 digits of your card unless you have asked us to change it after registration) you will arrive at our catalog.

A dialog box will pop up. Select the branch where you would like to pick this item up. If you will not need an item after a certain date you can specify a date for the hold to expire. Once you have made your selection, click on confirm location
