Explanation: In order to make it clear to patrons, we would like to update the holds policy and clarify some specific

Policy updates are in red
SERVICES-003: CIRCULATION OF MATERIALS
003.2: HOLDS
The Library accepts hold requests from Library patrons on all items, both on the shelf and checked out items. Patrons can place a
hold on materials in all formats. Priority for use of an item goes to the patron who places an item on hold rather than one who
picks it up off the shelf and brings an item on hold to the desk for checkout.
Patrons are notified of holds by phone, text or email. Patrons can also see if a hold is available by checking his/her online
account. The patron is responsible for picking up the hold within 7 days. Materials not picked up by that time, will be shelved or
held for the next patron.
Specific non-traditional items must be returned prior to placing another hold on the same type of item.
