Get Card
If the item you're looking for is checked out to another customer, or if you want an item sent to your home library branch, you can place a hold for that item.
Hold up to 15 physical items (books, DVDs, CDs, etc.) and 10 Libby/OverDrive eBooks and audio books at a time.
More on Holds
Library items may be renewed as long as no holds have been placed on them by other library users. Physical items (books, DVDs, CDs, etc.) can be renewed up to 3 times.
