You can also set your preferred pick-up location for holds and opt-in to keep your history of checked-out items and holds.
If you choose to keep your history of checked out items/holds, everything you check out/request from the time you opt-in will show up under the Check Out History section of Items Checked Out or the Holds History section of Holds. The staff at the library does NOT have access to your check-out history or holds history.
