You can request items when you visit the Library. Ask at the Circulation Desk and a clerk will place a hold on any items owned by an MHLS Library. Dover Plains Library gets deliveries Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. When the item is available, you’ll get notified via email, phone or text (depending on which you chose).
To Request an Item Online:
- Head to the Mid-Hudson Library catalog HERE
- Sign in with your library card number and PIN
- Enter the title of the item you want to request in the search bar, or use keywords to browse.
- You can refine the results by different filters such as format, location or date in the sidebar on the left.
- When you find the item you want, request it by clicking the blue button on the bottom right corner of the description.
- Select the library you want the item delivered to; it will show your home library by default.
- Click “Confirm Location” and you are all set! You’ll get an email, call or text to let you know when it’s ready for pickup.
- This process is the same for items that are available immediately and items that are currently checked out to someone else.
