When searching the library catalog, you are searching a catalog listing materials from 50 libraries in southeast Michigan. If you place a hold on an item that is available at our library, library staff will pull it from our shelves, process it, and place it under your last name, in the holds pick-up area of our Circulation Lobby. Library staff pull and process holds usually twice each day; in the morning before the library opens and again mid-afternoon.
If you are looking for an item that our library does not currently own or that is checked out, you can request that another library’s item fill the hold and be sent for you to pick-up at our library, simply by doing the same thing, placing a hold. If it is available at another library and can be inter-loaned, you should receive it in 4-7 days. If there is not a copy readily available, you will be put on a waiting list.
How to Place a Hold Online
Depending on your preference, you will receive a notice via Email or telephone or text that your hold is available for pick-up. To change your preferences from Email or phone, inform library staff at the Circulation Desk how you would like to be notified and they will update your account information. You may also set up your account to receive text message notifications by following the directions here.
