LUCKY DAY

Our Lucky Day collection includes popular, recently released titles that cannot be placed on hold. So you might just find that new book you thought you would have to wait for, but you have to visit a library in-person to find out.

Visit one of our branches to see what's available. 

Limit two Lucky Day items per library card.
