"" Dixon Public Library Book Releases

 

 November 2008 –  Book Releases

We have a new policy! As most of you know, we had been putting books out on the first of each month.  Beginning with September we are now putting them out as they are processed.  That means you get them sooner!  So the books on this list are out now.  As books are put out during the month we will update the New Book Releases Page.  See more below.

The books listed below are now in circulation. To place your name on the reserve list for any titles currently not available, please stop in or call the Dixon Public Library at 1-815-284-7261 and the staff will place holds for you.

If you would like to reserve a book by yourself, you can login to your Dixon Public Library Account.  To use this feature, you will need a PIN number and Alternate ID Number. Please contact the library if you do not already have these set-up.  For more info on reserving a book go to:  Request (Place a Hold) on an item in the Public Access Catalog (PAC)

When it is your turn to receive the book, the library staff will notify you by phone and hold the item for up to four days to give you time to pick it up.
