When the requested item arrives at the library, you will be notified by the email address linked to your library card, or phone number, if there is no email address.
Lending library materials will be held for seven (7) days after the patron has been notified that the material has arrived. On the eighth (8th) day the material will be recalled by the lending library.
Prospector items come from libraries outside of our AspenCat alliance. They may take longer to arrive, and they have different check out rules, so you may not be able to have them checked out as long as AspenCat or local items
