Request a Loan from Another Library
If an item you are seeking is not available at any library in the Metro Library Network, you may suggest the library purchase it by completing a Purchase Suggestion form.
We also may be able to get it from another library through Interlibrary Loan.
- Go to the catalog.
- Log in with your library card number and pin.
- Search for an item.
- If we do not have it, you will see the message, “No matches were found in the Metro Library Network. Click here to search and request an interlibrary loan (fees may apply).”
- Click on the link. The catalog will search the State of Iowa’s online holdings (SILO) and allow you to place a hold on the title that you are looking for.
- If you need assistance, please call the library at (319) 261-7323 or email info@crlibrary.org.
