Users can now place holds in DMC Library Catalog

New! Library users can now request items by placing a hold through the DMC Library Catalog. A hold allows you to reserve a specific title so that it’s set aside for you as soon as it becomes available—whether it’s currently checked out or housed at another library location. Once the item is returned or transferred, library staff will process your request and notify you by email when it’s ready for pickup. This convenient service helps ensure you don’t miss out on popular or hard-to-find materials.
