Customers will be notified by phone or email when reserves are available for pick-up. To sign up for email notification, please speak with staff or sign in to your account and add your email address to your personal information in your Borrower Profile.
If you’re going out of town, you can make your reserves inactive so that you’re not contacted for a pick-up while you’re away. Library staff at any location can assist with this process in person or by phone.
Returning Your Items
Borrowed items may be returned to any of the four library locations. Drop boxes are available at all locations if you’re not able to bring an item back during our open hours. Please note: eReaders must be returned in person to a staff member at the location where you originally borrowed it.
