Going on vacation? suspend your holds.

You are waiting for a popular book and it arrives for you while you are out of town: don’t let this happen to you.

Suspending your holds ensures that your hold isn’t filled while you are away (so that you don’t miss picking it up on time) and your hold maintains the same place in line while suspended.It just takes a few clicks to do. Please visit our website for complete instructions or call the Help Desk at 986-1047 ext. 3.
