[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in Montgomery County...I have to plan ahead. I can't just walk in to my closest library and expect them to have what I'm looking for. I go on the website and search the catalog at home. I can easily click Place Hold and they will transit the book to my Home library. [/quote] Yes, this is really the way to do it. But I do feel guilty about all the extra work it creates for the library staff (pulling the book, transporting it, shelving it with the holds, removing it if someone doesn't pick it up...). Another thing that can be helpful (at least for MCPL) is looking through the books "On Order" and placing holds on those books before they're purchased/processed. https://mcpl.aspendiscovery.org/?browseCategory=mcpl_on_order[/quote]
