DVD Holds FAQ
You may have a total of 10 holds at one time, regardless of the type of material. There is no charge to place holds. There is a $0.50 charge for each DVD hold not picked up. DVDs will be held for 2 days. (Books and CDs will be held for 7 days after the notice is sent.) DVDs may not be renewed.
Q. How can I place a hold on a DVD?
A. You can place a hold on DVDs yourself using the Online Catalog on the SJCPL website (www.libraryforlife.org) or contact staff at any SJCPL location.
Q. How soon will my hold be ready to pick up?
A. As quickly as possible. Your hold may be ready in as soon as a day, several days or weeks. The time will vary depending on the availability of the title, the location of pick up, the number of copies we own, and the number of holds placed on the item by other patrons.
Q. How will I know when my hold is in?
A. For DVDs you will need to specify either e-mail or telephone notification. Mailed notices are not timely enough for DVD holds.
Q. How do I change my notice preference?
A. Go to www.libraryforlife.org. Click My Card. Enter your name and library card number. Click Update Personal Information, choose e-mail or telephone, and click Submit. (Be sure to move the SJCPL e-mail address from the “junk” box in your e-mail.)
Q. Where do I return a DVD when the location I checked it out from is closed?
A. DVDs can be returned to any SJCPL location. For current hours, visit our website, www.libraryforlife.org. Returning a DVD to a closed location will not affect the rental charges. If the Main Library is open, you will be charged for that day.
