- Placing Holds
- Holds are reservations for materials. You can place a hold on an item that is checked out and you will be notified when it comes back. You can also place holds on materials in other libraries, which will then send those items to any library in the system so you can get what you need. On average, it takes about a week for items to arrive from other libraries.
