The Buchanan County Public Library will place a hold on any print material we have that is currently checked out. If a hold is placed on an item, the patron who has the item checked out will not be able to renew the item and you will be called once the item returns to the library.

You may access your library account through our library catalog and place a hold online.
These are the steps you need to follow:

1. Go to our library catalog (IBistro).
2. Search for the item you are looking for.
3. If the item is checked out, click on the “I Need Material” link.
4. Click on the Place Hold link.
5. Type in your user or alternate user id and your pin number.
6. Click the Place a Hold link.

A screen should appear with your name, identification numbers and Hold(s) Placed. If it does not, contact us.

You may also place holds on checked out print material by calling us at 276-935-5721 or by coming to our circulation desk and asking if you can place a hold.
