Hi Maryanne
With the new system of free holds, does that include transfering between libaries as well? I've been told that certain branches in the consortium will still charge transfer fees on reservations. If I place a hold on articles, how will I know that I will be charged or not. Will a message inform me on the WEB when I place a hold, or find out when I pick up the article. I have always found great service and friendly staff have s been part of this library service.

Hi Rob

There is no transfer fee for holds placed at Eastern Regional Libraries for items in any public library (within or outside the consortium).

The only fee that will be charged is if the item is not available from a free public library and we have to obtain it from a university library that charges $15.

Hope this clears up the confusion.
