How Do I . . . Reserve a Book?

Click on Patron Review. Login using your Barlow Library Card number (the number on the back of your card).  Enter your PIN number (the last four digits of your card number). Click on the Search button.  Enter the Title, Author or Keyword.  Select Barlow Library. Hit Search.  To Hold or Reserve the book, check the box on the left of the selection.    
  • Call the Library at 641-648-2872 and let us place the reserve for you.   
  • Stop by the Circulation Desk and we will place the reserve for you.
Once the reserve title has come in, we will notify you by phone call that the title is available.   The title will be held on the reserve shelf for the patron for 10 days.  If the title hasn’t been picked up within the 10 days, the title will go back on the shelf or the next patron in line will be given the title.
