  • Summit Items and Local Holds on the Hold Shelf

    Mar 3, 2014

    As soon as the Circulation Desk recieves a held item, a patron has a week to come the the Library and check it out. Some notices are being sent to patrons informing them that they have only a day to pick up their items. We are working to fix this issue as soon as possible. In the mean time, please disregard the same day pick up notice. All patrons still have the alloted week to get their items. We apologize for any inconvenience and are happy to answer any questions you may have.
