Your list of holds will be displayed.
A locker door will open and you may take your items, close the locker door and touch Finish. Enjoy!

You can return Holds Locker items to any JCPL 24/7 Returns Bin or location.

FAQs

We cannot extend the pickup period for a Holds Locker hold once your items are in it. However, you can have your item(s) moved from the holds locker to a JCPL location and retrieve your items via walk-in or curbside services. There will be a delay before your hold is ready, and you will receive notification when your hold is ready to be picked up.
The Holds Locker touchscreen may be overheating. You may still retrieve your items by scanning your JCPL card, trying a variety of different angles. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience! We are working towards a solution. Please call 303-235-5275 for further assistance.
