Exceptions may be made at the discretion of Library staff. After specified maximum renewals have been reached, patrons will be required to bring the material(s) into the Library.

Reserving Items
Items that are currently not on the shelf that a patron would like to check out can be reserved:
Library staff can tell you what number your place is on the wait list to give you an idea of how long you may have to wait.
When the reserved item(s) arrive, staff will place it on the reserve shelf and the patron will be notified via the patron's preferred contact method. Reserves are held for two business days. After the allotted time the items will be returned to circulation status or placed on the reserve shelf for the next waiting patron. If you are unable to pickup the reserved item in the allotted time you may request to be added to the bottom of the reserve list again.
