Holds

You may place holds on materials at the library, over the phone, or online. You can choose to be notified of arrived holds either by email or by phone. Materials will normally be held at the library for two days.

How to place a hold from home:

  • Obtain a pin number by calling or visiting the circulation desk.
  • Look up the book you want in the catalog by searching for title, author, or subject
  • Reserve the book by clicking on Hold Request in the row of buttons at the top of the screen
  • Now you'll see which branches own the book. The computer will prompt you to enter your Patron ID Number (found on the back of your Blackwater Regional Library card) and pin number. Just beneath, you can select the library branch where you'll pick up the book.
  • Click on the Submit Request button. You're done!
