Reserve Materials

Place a Reserve

You can place a hold on any material in the library except the Lucky Day and Reference collections. Just find the title you want, log into your record, and complete the request. Need assistance? Just give us a call at 630.543.3617.

We'll notify you as soon as the items are ready for you to pick up. All holds are kept for seven days and then they are put back on the shelf or go to the next patron in the hold queue.

Reserve Something We Don't Own

Want a title we don't have? You can:

  • Search Illinois libraries' catalogs using Find More Illinois
  • Search library catalogs from around the world using WorldCat
  • Let us do the searching!  If you can't find an item in our catalog, are unable to find it in Find More Illinois, or maybe it’s not even released yet, just fill out this order form. We will either purchase the item to add it to our collection or use interlibrary loan to find the item from another library. We'll have it sent to us and let you know as soon as it's ready for pickup.
