Get your holds brought out to your car- and stay socially distant!
1. Place Holds- Go to https://nextkansas.org/ and log in in the top right corner with your library card number and four digit passcode. Search the movies, audiobooks, and books and place holds on the items you want. If you would prefer, give us a call at 913-367-1902 and we will assist you in putting specific items on hold. NOTE: OUR COURIER SYSTEM IS CEASING SERVICE AND WE WILL NOT RECEIVE ITEMS FROM OTHER LIBRARIES. SEE THE STEPS FURTHER BELOW TO LIMIT YOUR SEARCH TO ITEMS IN OUR LIBRARY.
2. Notification- We will call/ text/ email you when your holds are available and ready for you to pick up from APL.
3. Pick Up- Park in the library parking lot and give us a call. A librarian will bring out your items with them already checked out.

PLEASE put all returns in the drop box and do not hand them to librarians or bring them up to the doors.
BOARD GAMES and PUZZLES
We usually offer a variety of board games to check out, and due to the extended time we will be spending at home, we are rushing out the new puzzles as well. Because these cannot be placed on hold online, call us and we will help connect you with age-appropriate games for your family (or for just adults) or pick out a puzzle with 500, 750, or 1000 pieces.

Limit your searches to items at APL
Due to our courier system pausing all deliveries, only holds placed on items here at the Atchison Public Libraries can be filled promptly. There are two ways to limit your search when in the NEXT catalog:
1. After performing a search, limit your results by scrolling down and finding "Home Library" on the left of the screen. Then, click "Atchison Public Library" to narrow the results to items we have here.

2. Limit your search before you do it by performing an "advanced search"
Then scroll all the way down until you see the "library" drop down menu and select Atchison Public Library. Then scroll back up and enter your search in the search bars.
