STAFF WILL PULL YOUR ITEMS

  • There is a limit of 15 items per card holder.

  • There is a limit of 4 "NEW" books and 2 "NEW" DVD's.

  • At this time, we cannot obtain items from other Pals Plus libraries. We will do our best to get you everything requested. 

  • If your requested items are not currently on the shelf, a hold request will be placed on those items through your Library card so that you can be notified when they become available. 

STAFF WILL ARRANGE A PICKUP TIME

  • A staff member will call you to schedule a pickup time when your items are ready. Due to demand and staffing, we cannot guarantee same day pickup.
