Using the Library

How to Reserve a Book

You can place a hold yourself through the library catalogue. When you have found a book you would like to reserve you will need to:

  • Click on 'Place a Reservation' on the right hand side of the screen. 

  • You will then need to log into your account, with your library ID and pin. 

  • Once logged in you will have the option to choose which NHS library you would like to pick the book up from. 

  • You can then set a date you would like to cancel the reservation, it is fine to leave this box blank. 

  • Then click confirm reservation.  

  • You can check the status of your holds by logging into your account. Once logged in click on the 'Your Summary' option on the left-hand side, then click the reservations tab.  

  • You will get an email to notify you that book is ready for collection.  The time it takes for a book to arrive will depend on weather it is already on loan to another user.
