Request or Renew an Item

You may reserve or renew a book directly through our online library catalog.

To Request an Item:

• Click on Library Catalog in the burgundy bar at the top of our website
• Search for the item you would like to reserve
• Once you find it, click on the Details button on the left sidebar
• Once in detail view, click on the Place Hold button on the left sidebar
• Enter the following information:
  • library card number (without any dashes or spaces)
  • pin (your pin number is "changeme" unless you change it)
  • choose the library you want the item to go to from the drop down menu (usually Brighton District Library)
• When successful, you will see a message that says "Hold(s) Placed" and will repeat the title, author and call number of the item you placed a hold on. Just click on OK to go back to the detailed view.
• TIME SAVING TIP: If you think you will be making multiple holds, login with your library card and pin on the very first search screen of the catalog. Then you will only have to repeat your PIN for each hold, not your entire library card number.
