RESERVE REQUEST CARDS

If you would like to borrow an item that we don't have at our library or branches, and you are unable to visit a WVLN member library that owns a copy, you may ask our library to purchase it. Here's how to do it and what you need to know:

​

  • Download a Reserve Request Card or ask for one at the circulation desk. Fill it in with your contact information, as well as the title, author, and format of the item you would like us to add to our collection. ​If the acquisitions librarians decide to/are able to order the item, the patrons who have filled out a request card will be placed on hold in the order of which the cards were received.

    • ​We only accept request cards for movies that are less than 5 years old.

      • Exception: Replacements for billed or missing DVDs.​

 

*Submitting a request card does not guarantee the item can or will be purchased for our collection.

​​

  • If the item is older, you may request an Interlibrary Loan, which is when our library borrows an item from another participating library for you.
