Maximum Number of Check outs & Holds Changing

We’ve just heard about upcoming changes to the Timberland Regional Library’s policies on checkouts and holds. Due to budget reductions, the number of items each library card holder can check out and place on hold will be changing.

As of July 1, 2009, you can only have 50 items checked out at a time, and you can only have 25 items in your hold list. This includes suspended holds. If you already have more than 25 items on your hold list, you can’t add any more until you’re back below 25.

This will save staff time, especially with upcoming reduced hours, and help to manage the library’s budget. If you have questions, contact TRL. (Read about more changes planned to reduce the budget shortfall.)
