Q. How long does it take to transfer a book from College Park to Shady Grove?

Hello,

Once you place a transfer (or "hold") request, library staff must pull and package the book for transfer by courier. 

The courier travels between Shady Grove and College Park on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The book must then be unpacked and put on hold, when you'll receive an email notification of its arrival. 

In all, the process should take 2-4 business days, depending on exactly when you placed the request.
