This means there is a copy that will circulate for 14 days available on a “first come” basis here at the library. Browsing copies are not subject to holds and only circulate among our patrons. So if you request a new book and you are high on the holds list, check our “New Book” shelf whenever you come to the library. The book you are waiting for might just be there!
With this, we also have "Browsing" DVD copies. Like the browsing books, they may be not be renewed or put on hold. They check out for 7 days. | | Cereals, Cartoons, & Cacti Join us for an epic cereal party on Thursday, April 29 at 5:00 pm.
