Materials Pickup Request – Algonquin Area Public Library

Welcome to Materials Pickup! Instead of calling or placing items on hold in the catalog, you can send us a list of what materials you’d like to check out electronically. Additionally, we’re able to do Reader’s Advisory for all ages including kids. We will be happy to put together a Book Bundle of books on a certain topic such as funny stories, weather, or school stories for all ages, including preschoolers.

If requested titles are unavailable: *

If the titles you have requested are unavailable, we will automatically place them on hold for you. However, wait times may be significantly longer since we are unable to borrow copies from other libraries at the present time. With this in mind, if your requested titles are unavailable, what would you like to do?

Wait for requested titles to become available only.

Submit alternate requests with different titles.

Allow staff to choose similar items for you based on your reading/viewing preferences.
