Two Ways to Request a Title the Library Doesn't Own
1. Request It Yourself From Another Library In Maine
If a book is located on URSUS or MaineCat (our catalog systems), you may use the request function to order it.
Once you have found the title, click on the request button at the top of the page. Fill in your name, library bar code and pick-up site, then submit.
2. Submit an order through the Reference Department
Reference Librarians will search for titles not found on URSUS through a nationwide database. Fill out an interlibrary loan request card at the Reference Dept. or email us: reference@bpl.lib.me.us To see what might be available, try searching the patron version of WORLDCAT.
Timeframe:
- Books requested through URSUS or MaineCat will usually arrive in 2-3 days via our delivery system.
- Books requested through our nationwide system arrive in 1-2 weeks.
