Holds

If you are short on time, Rolling Meadows cardholders may place items on hold. We will pull the items for you and they will be ready and waiting for you at the Check Out Desk. You will receive notification once they are ready for pick up.

If an item is not available to be checked out, Rolling Meadows cardholders may place a hold on the item. In other words, reserve the item under your library card account. When the item becomes available, you will be notified by email or phone to pick it up.

  • Items will stay on hold for patrons at the Check Out Desk for 5 days.
  • You can place up to 30 holds at a time.
  • Some new items including Top of the Charts, Magazines, and Lucky Rokus are only available through in-person check-out.
