If an item is listed on our OPAC Library Catalogue but is on issue or held at another Branch you can reserve it to be held aside when the item is returned / located.

There is a charge of $2.00 for each reserved item from the Adult collection. (Books that are available i.e. on the shelf in another Branch are Free to Reserve).

If you need an item that we do not have it may be possible to borrow it from another Library via Inter-Library Loan. You can search for the book yourself using the TePuna Catalogue (you will need a login and password to access this site, please contact the Library) or contact us with the information and we can do the search for you.

You can Reserve items via Telephone, at our Help Desks or Reserve it yourself using any of our OPAC Library Catalogue in any of our Libraries or at home via the Internet. (NB: Items that are Available, On-Order or In-Process cannot be Reserved via the OPAC's or the Internet).

To Reserve an item yourself you will need a PIN and your Library Card number:

• First look up the item in the Catalogue and select the relevant title you want.
• Then click on the Place Reservation button, you will be asked for your Borrower Card number and your PIN.

When the item becomes available for you, you will be notified either by phone or mail.

When the Libraries are closed books may be returned through the "After Hours book returns" slot - each Library has one, situated at the main entrance.
