As we emerge from the pandemic, we are reimagining our services to be equitable and effective. Please stay tuned for upcoming information on Community Book Clubs.
Customers who participate in community book clubs can place holds under their individual accounts. The advantages are that you’ll be far more likely to get the titles you want (especially popular ones), it frees up more books for everyone, and it’s a more equitable system!
Group members can place holds now for any and all of your selected titles and suspend the hold until you need the title. Even though a hold is suspended, you will still move up the holds list, pausing at the top of the list until the date you’ve asked for the hold to become active.
An instructional video describing that process can be found here.
If you, would like live help via phone to walk through the process, please call or visit any branch. We are also still very happy to provide reader’s advisory to help you find the next perfect read for your book club!
