A hold may be placed on any item in the library’s collection. Holds may be placed in person at any St. Mary Parish Library location, by phone, or through the online catalog.
Placing a Hold in the Online Catalog:
Go to PAC and log in with your library card number and your PIN
Use the search field near the top of the page to find what you are looking for.
Click the Place Hold button.
A box will pop up on the screen. Select the library where you would like to pick up the item and whether you’d like the first available or a specific copy.
Click the Submit Hold button.
A green banner will display with the message “Hold Placed Successfully” at the top of the page.
You will be notified when the item is available for pickup via your notification preference on your account. The item will go back to the shelf or the next person if it is not retrieved after a week. You can have up to 10 total hold requests at one time.
