How Do I...

Use our library catalog to search for the item you want in our catalog, then, choose to place a request and enter your library card barcode number to reserve the item for pickup at any of our six locations

Or, call one of our friendly librarians during library hours at (515) 283.4152, extension 3 and have your library card number ready.

If you don't see what you need in our online catalog, and you're a Des Moines resident, you might try our Interlibrary Loan service. We can often get what you need from another library. More »
