Borrow and Pick Up

Borrow what you need and pick it up when it works for you. 

Borrowing Made Easy

Whether you’re checking out your next read, waiting for a hold, or need a little more time with an item, we make it easy to manage what you borrow. Learn about loan periods and borrowing limits, placing and picking up holds, renewing materials, and using curbside pick-up. 

Holds

Reserve what you want, when you want 

Place a hold

If an item is checked out or has been ordered, placing a hold puts you on the wait list. You can do this online through the library catalog or by asking at any service desk. You’ll receive a notice when your hold is ready to pick up. 

pick up your holds

You can collect your holds inside the library from the hold shelves, or you can use curbside pick-up for contactless service. Details for each location are listed below.

RENEWALS

Renewing can be done online or by phone.

Renew online

Visit the WYLDCat catalog and sign in with your library card number and PIN. 

  • Select “Checked Out Titles” to see your current items. 
  • Choose “Renew” next to each title or “Renew All” to extend everything at once. 

Most items can be renewed twice unless another patron has placed a hold, the item is an interlibrary loan, or your account has a balance of $10 or more.
