Put a Hold on Materials

Library patrons may place a hold on materials in the three following ways:

• If an item is checked out, visit the Circulation Desk or call (954) 262-4601 to request that a hold be placed on it. You will be notified by phone when the item is returned, and it will be held at the desk for 5 days for you.



• If an item is available, the Circulation Department will place it on the hold shelf for two days for a patron who calls us, and expresses the need for it.



• Patrons can place holds on Broward County Library items using the BCL catalog and they can request to pick them up at the Alvin Sherman Library Circulation Desk. We will hold BCL items for only 5 days.
