Requesting Library Materials

nce you’ve browsed library catalog(s) to locate items you want to borrow, you may “request” them on-line through the library catalog. In turn, the materials you requested will be delivered to your library for pick-up.  Library staff will notify you when they arrive at the library.


Follow these steps to request materials:

For materials selected from the Northwest Regional Library/Lake Agassiz Regional Library shared catalog:

-Click “Request..” located under the author/title information.

-Enter your library card barcode number and PIN.  Submit.

-Select the NWRL Branch library where you will pick up the materials.

-Select a “Cancel” date.  When materials cannot be filled by this date, NWRL will automatically cancel your reserve on the materials for you. Submit.

-You will receive a confirmation of your reserves.

For materials that are not in the Northwest Regional Library/Lake Agassiz Regional Library shared catalog, go to MnLINK for access to catalogs of other Minnesota libraries or ask for  assistance from any NWRL Branch library.
