If an item you wish to check out is currently checked out to another patron, you may place a hold request on the item. Login to your library account, browse for the item you want and click the orange "Place Hold" button next to it, then follow the on screen prompt to submit your hold request. When it is your turn to check out the item, you will be contacted by the library and asked to pick the item up at the Circulation Desk within 3 days.

In purchasing materials for the library, our professional staff carefully reads book reviews to ensure that each title meets the guidelines of the Samuels Public Library collection policy.

If you wish your request to be considered for the library collection, please fill out the following form completely. Any reviews you have read about the book should be cited (publication and date).

Although we welcome recommendations, funding deficits have reduced our book budgets and do not permit us to purchase every suggested title.
