SCLENDS FAQ
What is SCLENDS?
SCLENDS is a consortium of more than 20 library systems across the state that has agreed to share their physical collections. All SCLENDS libraries share the same online catalog.
What does it mean to place an item 'on hold'?
When you place a book on hold, you request that it be delivered to your local branch library for you to pick up. The requested book may come from the shelves of your local library, from a different Beaufort County Library branch, or even from a library across the state!
I requested an item, but it's taking a while. Why is this?
If a book or DVD is popular, it may have a waitlist. If there is no waitlist, a requested item should arrive at the customer's home library within a few business days. There are various reasons why an item may take longer than anticipated. Please contact your local library, and our staff will investigate the delay.
How am I notified of my hold arriving?
Beaufort County Library cardholders receive automated email notifications when an item:
you've placed on hold is ready for pickup
is nearing its due date
has successfully auto-renewed
is overdue
Please note that you will not receive an email notification stating that an item did not auto-renew. To check the status of an item, please log in to your account.
I don't see a book I want. Can you help?
Please contact the library, and we'll be happy to help.

Humor

Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett

Recommended By
Debbie Henderson
Who would have thought the end of the world could be so funny? Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, of course! The Antichrist has been misplaced and is growing up in an ordinary suburban family, while an unlikely pair—an angel and a demon—try desperately to prevent Armageddon. Add witches, prophecies, heavenly blunders, and infernal chaos, and all Heaven and Hell break loose. Clever, absurd, and laugh-out-loud funny, Good Omens is a devilishly perfect choice for humor lovers.

Stephanie Plum series
Janet Evanovich

Recommended By
Grace Cordial
Great literature these are not, but they surely are fun! Picture a slapstick/adventure series featuring a host of incompetent people, eccentric relatives, wacky co-workers and two very competent handsome men looking over and cleaning up after inept bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. I laughed so hard at Stephanie's inane antics that my husband banned books by Janet Evanovich from our bedroom. The best thing? You can read any of the books in the series at any time.

A Spoonful of Frogs
Casey Lyall

Recommended By
Katharine Argall
Illustrated by one of my favorite artists, Vera Brosgol, this picture book follows the story of a television cook (who happens to be a witch) as she -attempts- to make frog soup. This is one of the only books that has ever made me laugh. Read it to break the spell of a gloomy day!
The Future Book
Mac Barnett & Shawn Harris

Recommended By
Leigh Ramey
Childhood friends, Mac Barnett and Shawn Harris, collaborated on the popular and funny children’s graphic novel series – The First Cat in Space. Their newest picture book together, The Future Book, will also appeal to kids who like funny, silly jokes. In THIS future, bananas are called apples, people put fish on each other’s heads, and a common phrase to hear is “you smell like a baby”! You can find Wonderbook editions of this title, narrated by Mac Barnett.
