How to Use the Library

  • Renew your books by phone or in person, or on the website as long as there is no one waiting on the reserve list for your book.
  • Place your name on a waiting list for items that are checked out and not available. This can be done in person at either the DesertView or SaddleBrooke One Library, or on the SaddleBrooke Libraries Online Catalog website (click on the link in the box on the right side of this page).
