Pick-Up Holds and Printouts Using Curbside
Placing Holds
Simply place holds on books, DVDs or any other library material by searching the catalog on the SLCL mobile app or at slcl.org. You will need your library card and PIN number. Choose any branch as the pick-up location. If you need help placing holds, please contact the library.
Once your holds are ready, you’ll receive an email notification with instructions for picking up the holds at your chosen branch.
Call Ahead for Holds
Save time by calling ahead to schedule a time to pick up your holds. We will gather your holds, check them out to your card, and will have them waiting for you. When you arrive in the parking lot, find a spot, and text or call us. Please remember to tell us you “Called Ahead.”
Requesting Print-Outs
Text or chat the branch of your choice using the contact information listed below, or call the library at 314-994-3300. Staff can print items from the internet or our library resources. You can also email files for printing. There is a limit of 60 pages for this service. Staff will alert you when your prints are available for pick up.
Picking Up Holds or Print-Outs
When you are ready to pick up your holds or print-outs, text or chat “READY” to the pick-up branch during curbside hours.
