What is Hold My Spot? Hold My Spot allows devoted fans of certain authors to have a copy of new books automatically placed on hold.

How does it work? Pick as many authors from the list below as you like.  When your chosen author(s) publish a new book, a hold will be placed on it for you.

How quickly will I get my book? It depends on how many patrons select the same authors.  If many patrons want books by the same author, we will know to order more copies!  Each time an author publishes a new book, the order of the holds will be randomized to ensure that all participating patrons have an equal chance to be first in line.

What else do I need to know?

• This service is only available to Westhampton Free Library cardholders in good standing.
• You must choose regular or large print format.  Holds will be places for you only on the format you select.
• Not all books are published in regular and large print simultaneously.  We will do our best to get the books you want in the format you choose to you as quickly as possible.
• This service is available only for books that have not yet been published.  Past titles by these authors can be placed on hold by contacting a Reference Librarian.
• To make changes to your selections, please see a Reference Librarian.
