Shelf Secrets
Learn To Use Our New Catalog
One of the many improvements that came with our new library circulation system is how much easier it is for you to place holds (or reserves) on items through your online patron account! Here's how to do it:
Log in to your patron account with your library card number. Your default password is the last four digits of your library card number.
Find an item you'd like to reserve. This can be an item that's currently checked out that you'd like to be added to the waitlist for or an item that is currently available that you'd like staff to pull from the shelves and have held at the circulation desk for you to pick up.
Click RESERVE under the item.
On the screen that pops up, you'll be asked to confirm your reservation. You can also choose when you'd like your reservation to take effect, either immediately (today's date) or at a later date. Click RESERVE to place your hold!
Once your item is ready for you to pick up, you will be notified via your preferred contact method. In the meantime, you can see all of your reserves (and make cancellations, if necessary) on your account homepage.
