Any circulating Great River Regional Library materials can be requested using the online catalog from home or at the library. Library staff will also assist you over the telephone or within the library. Check our schedule for times and locations.
Reference materials may be sent to your nearest GRRL location for use in the library.
Once you have searched the catalog and determined that your selection is not owned by GRRL, you may choose one of several options.
You may have up to 100 active requests on your account at one time. That includes requests that are waiting to be filled, in transit or Being Held at your chosen pickup location. Any MnLink or other Interlibrary Loan requests will also appear on your request list.
You may choose to have e-mail notification when your GRRL requests come. Choosing e-mail notification also allows you to receive notification three days before a checked out item is due (non-receipt of a notice does not release you from your obligation to return items by their due dates).
Most held items are shelved by the patron's barcode number. If you are unsure how hold items are shelved at your local library, be sure to stop at the circulation desk to inquire.
Holds are available for seven calendar days, including the day they arrive in the library.
Yes, another person may pick up those items you have on hold as long as they have your library card with them.
It is not possible to guarantee delivery arrival times. It is possible to suspend requests within your account to delay delivery of requests for a period of time. You can access this feature yourself through the My Account tab in the catalog or ask library staff for assistance.
