Managing Your Online Account: Placing Holds in Lakenet
With your online account you may place holds in the Lakenet Catalog (Lakeland libraries), request books in the Melcat Catalog (statewide), renew items, access your reading history, and pay overdue fees online.
Placing Holds in Lakenet
Holds may be placed on print materials in the Lakenet catalog. Holds may not be placed on non-print materials such as CDs, DVDs, Audiobooks, etc. Items that necessitate delivery from another Lakeland Library will take approximately 1-2 weeks for arrival. To place a hold:
Step 1. In the online catalog, locate the item you wish to request and click on "Place a Hold".

Step 2. Enter your library card barcode and PIN # in the spaces provided. Click on "Submit". Note: Your PIN # is typically the last 4 digits of your phone number. If that does not work, please contact the library for assistance.
Step 3. Library Staff will notify you when your hold is available. If your hold was not successful, please contact the library for assistance. In some cases, an expired card or an overdue fee may prevent a hold from being placed.
