How to place a hold on an item in the Westmoreland Library Network (WLN)

PLACE ITEMS ON HOLD

Our catalog can be viewed on our website delmontlibrary.org. You can search for your requested item. Some are available at our location, but the ones that are not can be sent to the Delmont Library. While logged into your patron account you can select “Place Request.” This will place a hold on the item and get it shipped to the Delmont Library.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call (724-468-5329) or email the Library at delmontlibrary@gmail.com.

WAIT FOR NOTIFICATION

When your hold has been processed, you will be contacted via your contact preferences noted in your account.

PICK UP YOUR ITEMS

Once you have received confirmation that your hold is ready for pickup, give your name to the staff member at the Circulation Desk and let them know you are there to pick-up your items. Alternatively, you can proceed to the Holds Shelf and find your items under your last name. If the items are not picked up by their “unclaimed date”, they will be reshelved.

RETURN YOUR ITEMS
