To place an online request:

  • Search the catalog to find the item
  • Click on the "Place a Request" link
  • You will need your library barcode number and your password. 
    • If you have forgotten your password or do not have a password, contact your local library for further assistance.

If an item is not in the library catalog

If you have searched the library's catalog, and we do not own the material you are searching for, you can request the item through Interlibrary Loan (ILL).

ILL policy

Fill out an ILL form and take it to any library's reference desk.  A fee of $1.00 will be charged at the time you submit your request.  If we are unable to borrow the item you requested, your money will be refunded.
