Intra-library Loan Holds

Intra-library Loan Holds
(Placing holds for items in the PLS library catalog)

Once you have located an item in the library catalog, you may place a hold on it by contacting or going to any of the PLS libraries or online. At most libraries, a 75 cent fee per item is charged for requesting an item to be held. However, CSM Library will waive this fee for any item that is picked up at CSM.

Once the item which you have placed on hold becomes available, a notice is sent to the phone number or email address on file in your library record to let you know that the item is ready for pickup. Your item remains on hold for you for ten days after the item has arrived at the library. In order to check out a held item, you need to come to the library and check it out using the library card on which the hold was placed.
