Due date slips are printed out for your convenience at the check-out desk. (Email receipts available upon request.) Be sure to check carefully for the due dates. If you are unsure when an item is due back to the library, call for assistance.
You likely know that if a material is unavailable on our shelf but in one of the Westchester Library System's 38 member libraries, we can place a hold for you to pick up here. (Often, it will come in just a few days!) Holds cannot be placed on Express items or magazines. For an Adult or Young Adult item, ask at the Adult Services Desk for more information; for a Children's item, ask at the Children's Services Desk.
You may not know that even if a book is not available in the library system, we can request it for you from public or academic libraries around the region and country ("ILL"). This service is only available for print books and articles. AV materials, reference materials, and textbooks are not eligible for ILL. Requests for items published within the last 6 months are not likely to be filled. For more information or to make a request, visit this page.
