Placing a Hold



In order to offer the best service to all customers, resources available through Yakima Valley Libraries are distributed throughout a wide geographical area. Any circulating item can be reserved for personal use by a customer, regardless of location. Such a request is called a "Hold."


TO PLACE A HOLD (REQUEST) ON AN ITEM

  1. Search the library catalog for the item
  2. Click on the Place Request link under the title information.
  3. Click in the Barcode Number window and type in your barcode number.
  4. Click in the Password window and type in your password.(If you have forgotten your password, call your library)
  5. Click on the down arrow next to the Pickup Library window and select the library branch where you'd like to pick up the book.
  6. Click on Submit Request
  7. Or ask a staff member to help you

Hold requests are also accepted via phone or e-mail. A "hold" can also be mailed to you for $3.00 per item. You will be notified when your hold is available. For faster service, request that your hold notification be emailed to you, otherwise it is mailed by postal service. Ask at your local library for information.
