Intermittent Hold Issue

We’re currently seeing intermittent issues with patrons placing holds via the catalog. If you receive an error message when attempting to place a hold, contact us by chat , email, stopping by any branch, or calling 206-386-4636 and we’ll be happy to place the hold for you. Thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this issue.

Due to high temperatures in the forecast, it is possible that Library buildings not equipped with air conditioning will close early for the comfort and safety of Library patrons and staff.
