We continue to offer new holds on physical materials in the library catalog. When your holds are ready for pickup, you will receive your regular hold notification via Washington County Cooperative Library Services. Appointments are still required to pick up Sherwood holds. You will need your library card number and account password to make the appointment, and to pick up your holds. We appreciate your patience with expected delays. We are also accepting returns of library materials. Please note materials will quarantine for a minimum of 120 hours (5 days) before check-in. Fines will not be assessed during our closure. At this time we are not accepting donations. |
