Borrowing Information

Reserving Materials

If something you want has been checked out by another person, or if the library has ordered it and it has not come in yet, you may reserve it. You may reserve materials in person at the Information Desk, by telephone (610-867-3761, ext. 224), Main Library, or (610-867-7852), South Side Branch, or online by accessing your account either in the library or from home. When a reserved item is ready for you to pick it up, the library will email you a notice, or if necessary phone you.

The rental copies of best sellers cannot be reserved.

A 50¢ handling charge will be collected for each reserve when you pick it up. If a reserve is not picked up, you will be charged the 50¢

If you see an item you would like and the status in the catalog is “In”, you may call to have it set aside at no charge.
