Holds Pickup & Returns
When you receive notification that your requested items have arrived, you may pick them up in one of two ways:
- Option 1. Pickup inside the Library. Go inside the Library and find the Holds shelf. Your materials will be filed under your last name. Check out your materials at a self-check station or at the Circulation Desk.
