Holds and Searches

• Placing a HOLD on a book reserves that book for the requester. When the online catalog indicates the book is checked out, a hold may be placed on it to prevent the book from being renewed. If the book you want is missing, you may place a SEARCH on it. You will be notified by mail or email when the book is returned or located. In accordance with Nevada Revised Statutes, information regarding the current borrower of a book will not be disclosed. 

Overdue and lost items

The third mailed notice will be a bill for the replacement cost of the book plus a $10.00 processing fee and a $5.00 billing fee. Your borrowing privileges are suspended when you have accrued charges of $5.00 or more.
