Holds will continue to be on the hold shelf for 10 days from their arrival in the branch. Expiration dates for pick up will be listed on your notification messages. September 19 is the final day to pick up holds that are at the Walker Temporary Location. 

What if you have a hold that has not yet arrived, and you wish to change the pickup location? 

You can easily change the pickup location for your materials requests that have not yet arrived at the branch.  Go to kdl.org and log in with your library card; then click “On Hold.” Click “Pick up at Walker Temporary Library” and choose another location from the list that appears.
