• Can I get an emailed checkout receipt?

  Yes, you can. You'll need to check out your items at Self-Check-Out and choose the email receipt option.

  At the moment, emailed receipts are only available at Self-Check-Out. If staff check out items for you at the Check Out desk, you'll get a printed receipt. An emailed receipt will be available at the Check Out desk soon.

• Will magazines count against my OverDrive checkout limit?

  No. Magazines do not count toward checkout limits.

• Can I make an interlibrary loan request?

  Yes, you can add new interlibrary loan requests using our "Request an Item" form.

  Find a link to the form on our website. You no longer need to log in to your online catalog account. Instead, go to the "Books and More" menu at the top of our site. Under "Services," choose "Request Items for Purchase or Interlibrary Loan."

  If you’re using our app, find a link to the new form on the app home screen. Find the "Request items for Purchase or Interlibrary Loan" link under "Explore Further."
