Library Fall 2021 Reopening: Contactless Holds Pickup

Up to date information from Norma Marion Alloway Library in light of the COVID19 pandemic.

Holds Pickups at Alloway Library

Alloway Library has a Contactless Holds Pick-Up Service to allow library users to get print books and other media from our collection - often on the same day that you make a request.

It starts with Library One Search or the Classic Catalogue and the barcode on your TWU ID card. Video tutorial on placing a hold.

  1. Find the material you want and use the Place Hold link.
    • You can place up to 24 holds at a time.
  2. Library staff will pull the material, check it out to your account, print a receipt and put everything in a plastic bag.
  3. You will get an email to tell you that the material is ready for pick up.
  4. Come to Borrower Services to pick up your material. You will need to show your ID.
  5. Check your receipt to make sure that it is correct.
  6. Enjoy your reading!
