How To Request an Item for Reserve
     Sayville Library patrons may now reserve library items. A request places a hold on a title. When the item is received by the library, the patron will be notified. When notified that the item is ready to be picked up, only the patron who placed the hold may pick up the item. It will not be released to anyone else.  If you don't find the item you are looking for in the catalog, please let us know, and we will obtain it for you. If you need help with this new feature or would like further assistance reserving items, you may call (631-589-4440) or e-mail the library sayvref@suffolk.lib.ny.us
