How long will it take to receive requested items from offsite storage?

Some archival materials and bound periodicals are located at a storage facility outside of the library and must be requested before visiting the Main Library, in order to give us time to retrieve them.  Please allow up to 72 hours for requests from the Magazines & Newspapers Center collection and up to 4 business days for requests from the San Francisco History Center and Book Arts & Special Collections.
