Item Quarantine As part of its effort to keep the public and its employees safe and healthy, all returned items will be quarantined for a minimum of seven days. There may be delays in hold availability for items at the South Valleys Library and the Sparks Library. If you have an item to pick up from one of those branches, pay special attention to the instructions in your hold confirmation email. This quarantine period will also affect returned items and transit periods. You may see items you've returned still displaying as checked out in your online account. If your held item is moving from one branch to another, please expect a minimum of seven days.

New Hours Expanded hold pickup hours are now in effect at most branches. You can see the new schedule here, or visit our reopening page to keep updated on how the library plans to safely return to our pre-pandemic levels of service.
