Richardson residents can place hold requests or add themselves to a waiting list for materials. Requests can be made through the online catalog by clicking the Place Hold button when looking up an item. Hold requests can also be made with any of our Librarians at a service desk, or by telephone. Nonresidents will need to call the Library at 972-744-4350 to ask for available materials to be saved for them.

You will be notified that you have a hold ready for pickup if you have added your telephone number and/or email address to your Library Card account. 

Items on hold are retained for four days; after that time, items move on to the next person in line, or are returned to the shelf. To ensure that you get them, please pick up your hold items within the allotted four-day period.
