If libraries are not able to access their collections during a closure to fill ILC or local holds we recommend asking Co-op Support to turn both off. This reduces the backlog for filling ILC and local holds that your library will have when you re-open.

Depending on the situation you may decide to turn off ILC but leave local holds turned on. For example, if your library is able to do curbside pick-up you may want patrons to be able to place holds on items in your collection but due to staff limitations not want to be shipping/receiving items for ILC.

If applicable to your situation, libraries participating in ILC or BC One Card should also contact their provincial body for assistance in getting the word out to other libraries to please not send items to the library until further notice.
