Are you tired of waiting through long lines of “holds” (reserves) on books at the library? Does your favorite bestselling author come out with a new book while you’re still waiting for your name to come up for the old title? Do you get frustrated waiting for a new DVD to become available for you? Why not Leap the Line? Here’s how it works. You are tired of waiting in the holds line for a book or DVD or CD of music. You decide to Leap the Line. You fill out a form on our brochure (available at the libraries and on our website) instructing the library to Leap the Line for that title. • As soon the form is received at our front desk or online, your name Leaps the Line to the front of the holds.
• Within one week, the item is purchased, received and you are notified.
• You arrive at the library and pay just $10. This is considered a library donation, since you have made it possible for the library to buy an item which has been added to the collection. The library pays the balance.
• The item is checked out to you for twice the normal borrowing time. If it’s a book, you get it for four weeks. If it’s a DVD, you get it for two weeks.
• At the end of that time, or before that if you’re finished, you return the item to the library. It goes into our regular collection and the long holds line resumes where it left off.
By Leaping the Line, you enable the library to add high-demand titles while making a donation. You receive the item first, for a longer borrowing period. You have the satisfaction of knowing that you have helped the library. Thank you and enjoy your Leap!
In order to be a Leap the Line request, the title must already be in the library catalog & have holds on it. If the item is not already in the catalog, please fill out a purchase suggestion form instead. While we can't guarantee that we'll purchase it, your suggestion will be considered.
