Recalling a book:

You can request a book that is already on loan to another patron using Catalog. Click on Catalog Guide for detail on how to search the catalog. To learn how to request an item see Request a book. When a checked out material is requested by another patron, system generates an email recall notice to the patron who has the material on loan (if the patron has an email address on file with the library, otherwise a letter is mailed to patron's mailing address). The patron has two weeks to return the material from the date it is recalled. Please maintain current email and mailing address in the library system. Please use My Account to verify your email and mailing address in the library system.
