What if I want a book from another library?

If the item you're looking for is currently shelved in another library within our districts, you have the option to place a hold on the item and it will be transported to your home library*. To place a hold, use our online catalogue, or the Library App, or contact the library. We will notify you by email when the book is ready for pickup.

 

If we don't have the item in our collection, you can place an Interlibrary Loan request* and potentially have the item sourced from another library in Aotearoa or internationally.
