Reserves (Holds)
To place a reserve (or hold) you must supply the 14-digit barcode number on your library card (see example at right). Your reserved items will be sent to the WLS Library of your choice for pickup. You will receive a your choice of a printed notice, an e-mail, or a phone call when the item arrives at your library. When a title you want is already checked out, you may be able to place a hold on it. Again, you must have your Library Card barcode number. When the item is checked in and it is your turn to check out the item, the library will notify you that it is available. If other library patrons have placed a hold on the item, you may have to wait until those who have requested the item ahead of you are able to check out the item. When it is your turn to check out the item, you must pick it up within one week or it will go on to the next patron.
Renewals
You can renew your materials online too! Follow the catalog directions, again with your barcode number available.
