Reserve Items and Borrow Materials from Other Libraries
Tigard Library patrons can access most of the books and materials in all Washington
County Public Libraries because it is a member of Washington County Cooperative
Library Services (WCCLS). The online library catalog lists all materials at
member libraries. Most of these items can be reserved by Tigard Library cardholders.
Patrons may request items from another WCCLS library. At times there is a waiting list
for popular titles. You may place
a hold online from home, at the Public Access terminals in the Library, over the phone
or at the Reference Desk.
Reserved items may be picked up at any WCCLS library. When they arrive at the library, patrons
will be notified by e-mail or phone. Items will be held for seven days. Patrons may pick up
reserved books themselves from the Self-Holds shelf on the first floor. Reserved audio-visual
items are kept behind the checkout desk.
In order to pick up reserved items, patrons must bring the card or card number of the person
who placed the hold, even if it is a family member. When using a card number only, patrons
must be able to verify registration information for security purposes.
If you do not find the item you are looking for in the WCCLS system, you can make a
request through interlibrary loan.
