Reserving Materials

What can be reserved?

Most materials checked out by another patron can be reserved except:

  • Tax CD ROMs

Materials which are on the shelf cannot be reserved. However, if you call Adult Services or the Young People's Department, (630.627.0316) if time permits every effort will be made to set materials aside for you.

How can I reserve materials?

You can reserve materials three different ways:

  • In the library at the Adult Services or Young People's Desks (Lombard Card Holders Only)
  • In the library using the online catalog (Lombard Card Holders Only)
  • Over the Internet (Lombard Card Holders Only)
  • Non Lombard Card Holders can call to see if materials is available. Then ask for it to be held at the front desk for pick up.

 

Reserving materials at the Adult Services or Young People's Desk.

Simply take your Lombard library card, and the titles of the materials you wish to have reserved to either public service desk.
