The Library offers a book paging service for all Georgetown users. When you page (or request) an item through the Library's catalog, Library staff will find the item for you and hold it at the service desk of your choice. The item will then be available for you to pick up for any time the service desk is open. Items stay on the hold shelf for 10 days; if they are not picked up by then, the hold request will be canceled and the item will be returned the original location.
