Beyond Books items are usually chosen for the collection due to their high cost. You can take these items home with you just as you would one of our books.

Most items can be transferred to branches besides their home locations, unless noted below. To place an item on hold, use the links below, call us at 616-784-2007, or make the request in person when you visit one of our branches.
