Request Items for Pickup
Beginning Monday, August 23, Curbside Pick Up will transform into Hold Requests where patrons are able to pick up requested material in Library Lobby anytime the 5th floor of the Library is open. Items are ready for pick up when you receive a "Library item ready for pick up" email. Turnaround time is generally a few hours, but may take up to one day to process. Items are held for 5 days across from the Access Services Desk. You will need to check out the material either using our self-checkout machine or with a staff member at the Access Services Desk.
Items cataloged as "Reserves" or "Periodicals" or are ineligible to be borrowed for
outside use as we are open.
Pick Up is unavailable when the College is closed.
We reserve the right to recall checked out material if necessary. Library services and/or access may change or cease at any time dependent on college administration directives based on SUNY, state, and city mandates.
