Returning Items 

Library items may be returned in the book-drops located in the lobby and outside on the west side of the building.

Placing Holds

Holds can be placed through your library account online or through our Library App. When your hold is available for pick up, you will be notified via email (or mail if no email address is provided).  If the items are in and on the shelf, please allow the Library at least 24 hours to fill your request.
