@mrsball0412 Hi Lisa, the charge is applied upon reservation as the costs of administration and the staff time spent sourcing the book begins straight away.

@EssexLibraries What if you reserve a book and change your mind before it’s in transit? I’ve had a charge applied to my account on day one of reservation. It can sometimes take months for reserved books to become available. Surely the charge shouldn’t be added to your account until transit?
