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.
