West Slope Community Library
Temporary Closure Information
HOLDS AT WEST SLOPE
Because of the temporary closure of West Slope between June 13-August 1, all holds that have the pickup location of West Slope have been automatically paused as of June 2, and will be automatically reactivated on August 1.
If a hold is paused, you keep moving up the queue, but it won't be delivered until after the date set.
If you would like to have your holds delivered to a different WCCLS library while West Slope is closed, you can log into your account, and go to your holds page. Next, change the pickup location, and finally reactivate the hold by pressing the 'Resume hold' button.
If you need any assistance, please follow this step-by-step guide. You may also email or call the Garden Home Library. We would be happy to assist you in changing your hold's pickup location.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Holds
Q: Why are holds being paused on June 2, if West Slope will be open until June 12?
A: We want to make sure that West Slope patrons have enough time to pick up any holds that arrive before June 12. We want to avoid a situation where you get a notice that your hold is ready to pick up, but have to wait until August to actually get it.
Q: Why can't I select West Slope as the pickup location for my holds?
A: Due to the way the holds system works, we need to temporarily hide West Slope as an option for new holds. West Slope will come back as a pick-up option when the library re-opens in August. Until then you can choose another pickup location.
Checked Out Items & Returns
Q: What should I do with items that are already checked out?
A: Nothing that was checked out at West Slope will be due during the closure. If you would like to return items before we reopen, you can do so at other WCCLS Library Locations. That said, you are welcome to keep the items until August, please enjoy the longer loan, and help us out by babysitting our books!
Q: I have an item that says 'Return to West Slope Only', what should I do with it?
A: Like other items, nothing will be due until August, but if you'd like to return the item, you can bring them to the Garden Home Library when the library is open.
