In the search bar, type the title of the book, movie, audiobook, etc. Hit “Search” or the enter key on your keyboard.

STEP FOUR: SELECT YOUR TITLE
Choose the title that you want to put on hold by clicking on the “Place Hold” box.
Did you know? You can also read more information about that title including a summary of the book, AR level (when applicable), publication date, and more by clicking the title of the book on this screen.
