Placing a HOLD on material allows you to request material in advance. Most circulating materials can be placed on HOLD. Items not owned by Westerly Library and Wilcox Park will be sent from other Ocean State Libraries network members upon request and availability.
Some materials may have a waiting list, so your patience is appreciated!
