How to Renew
Everything you borrow can be renewed twice. However,
an item cannot be renewed if another patron has placed a hold on
it.
Online: Go to Your Account, click on the Checked Out tab and
select items you wish to renew.
By Phone: Call 604.935.8433 and have your library card ready.
In Person: Bring the items with your library card to the checkout desk.
How to Place a Hold
You can place a hold on an item so that it is available for pickup using the Library's Catalogue. You can also add your name to the wait list for popular materials that are currently checked out.
There is a maximum of 10 holds per card at any given time. You can view, cancel, and even "suspend" your holds when you go on vacation using Your Account.
We will notify you by phone or email when a hold is available for pickup. You will have 7 days to pick up items that are being held for you. If you are notified that a hold is waiting and you do not pick it up within 7 days, we will assess a $1.00 fee per item.
How to Place an Interlibrary Loan
Are you interested in having a book sent to Whistler from another library that can't be found in our catalogue? If so, place an interlibrary loan request using Outlook Online (BC Libraries Catalogue). If you place an interlibrary loan request and do not pick it up within 7 days, we will assess a $5.00 fee per item.
Where to Return WPL Material
