We ask that patrons stay at the front desk of Glenwood PL in order pick up their holds or drop off their returns. In-branch browsing, access to the public computers and washrooms will be off limits at this time.

Overdrive has announced some changes to the way holds are suspended for Libby items:
There will be no change to existing active holds. Holds that are currently suspended will be updated to have an indefinite suspension period. If suspended holds have not been unsuspended after 365 days, they will be canceled.
You can suspend as many holds as you like, up to your card’s hold limit. There’s no limit to the number of times an individual hold can be suspended and unsuspended.

The above changes will take effect in mid-September.
