2. You may call, come in, or Instant Message in the Meebo box in the next column and have a librarian place a hold on the pass up to 3 days in advance.  The pass must be available for check out at the time the hold is placed. 
3. The pass must be returned to the library the next day before closing.  (Monday through Thursday 9 pm; Friday - Sunday 6 pm)
