When we process our reserves on Tuesdays and Fridays you will get an email notification. If your reserve has recently been checked out then there will be a small wait. We will call you when the item is ready.

Please make sure that we have correct phone numbers with voice mail for you as this is how we will contact you to let you know your items are ready.
