Interlibrary Loan

If you are interested in an item that is not in our collection or is currently checked out, you can go to the online catalog site or utilize the PrairieCat app (available on Google Play or Apple's App Store) to place a hold on the item.

  • The catalog can be accessed through this website by clicking on the 'Catalog' tab located at the top of the page.
  • You will need to login with your library card barcode and pin.
  • Library staff can also place or assist you with holds. Holds usually take a week to arrive.
  • Reserved items must be picked up within one week after you are called or emailed, as other patrons may be on the waiting list.
  • If you do not find the item in PrairieCat, please contact our staff to locate the item for you through OCLC or other options.

Outreach Services

We offer both curbside pickup and home delivery. To pickup, please contact the library to request we check out the item for you and to notify us once you are outside. For home delivery, please contact the director to discuss options and delivery schedule.
