Things to Consider Before You Submit a Request:

• Does the library already own this item? Please consider putting a hold on an item if it is currently out with another patron. You will likely get the item faster this way than ordering through interlibrary loan.
• The age of the material. We Cannot request material published in the last 12 months. Please consider submitting a request for purchase instead.
• Requests are limited to 5 active requests per patron.

FAQ
