Request an Item
Visit the Library's Online Catalog, and click on "Search Catalog." Then, click on the "Place Hold" link. Then, type in your library account number and PIN. Items may also be placed on hold through the library app. Search for your title in the "Search the Catalog" field, and then click on the "Place Hold" button. If you are signed into the app with your account information, the hold will be placed for you.
Access the Library's Online Catalog, log on to "My Account." Then, under "Loans," click on "Renew." You use your 14-digit library card number for your username, and the last four digits as your PIN. Then click on the "My Account" tab and click on the "Check Outs" tab. You may then select the items you wish to renew. Items may also be renewed through the library app. In the app, go to "My Account. Under "Checkouts," touch the item(s) you wish to renew then touch the "Renew" button. Items that do not have a "hold" placed on them may be automatically renewed for you up to three times as a courtesy, as long as your library account is in good standing.
Curbside Pickup is available to all library card holders. Just place your items on HOLD as you normally would by either using our online catalog or calling the library at 214-363-9095.
When you arrive outside the library, call the library and a staff member will bring your HOLDS to you.
What is Interlibrary Loan?
If you are searching for something that University Park Public Library does not own, you may be able to borrow the item from a partner library using our interlibrary loan service. Requests may several weeks or longer to fill.
Who can use Interlibrary Loan?
Borrowers must be a resident cardholder and over the age of 18.
How do I submit an Interlibrary Loan Request?
Visit our online catalog and log into your account by entering your User ID and PIN. Select "Send a Request." From the dropdown menu, select "ILL Book Request" and fill out the form.
How can I get my item faster?
If the item you are looking for is available at another area library, you may be able to check it out yourself using your TexShare Card.
