  • You can also place reserves at any library desk, or over the phone.

    • Your library card
    • Information like the title and author of the item you wish to reserve
    • To know which branch you want to pick the item up from

    We will contact you when the item is ready for you, using the contact you have told us you prefer (by phone, email or letter in the mail) . You need to pick it up from your requested library branch within 6 days of notification.

    We cannot guarantee when the item will be available because we are reliant on the item being returned to the library. We do our best to deliver requested items as soon as possible.
