Do you take advantage of your library’s service to put things on hold? If your library offers this service, it’s definitely a time saver!
Usually you can create an online account with your library card number. Then, you’ll be able to use the catalog and reserve DVD’s, books, etc.
If you’re looking for newer releases, etc., there may be a waiting list. Reserving it ensures you’ll eventually get to read the book or watch the DVD, even if there are a few people ahead of you waiting for it. For most items that have been released for awhile, there isn’t a waiting list. You should be able to pick it up one or two days after placing it on hold. You’ll usually receive an email when the item is ready to be picked up.
Here’s a list of things we’ve put on hold lately:
Diary of a Wimpy Kid book
A Barbie DVD my daughter requested
Rio 2 DVD
Carry On, Warrior by Glennon Melton
What have you put on hold lately? Or what do you plan to reserve?

We have literally had cardboard boxes of books waiting for us to pick up at our library; within a few months we were on a first name basis with all of our librarians. It’s so nice that our library is connected with lots of other libraries state wide so even though we have a small town library we can request so many more books and movies than we’d normally have access to!
That’s great to hear, Mother of 3! Sometimes I wonder what I would do if I didn’t have such great access to the library, sounds like you would feel the same way!

I like the interlibrary loan system at our library. I can almost always find good books. Thank you for linking up with the LMMLinkup!
Thanks for hosting, Leah!
