You are invited to search for a book, CD, DVD or etc. from the online catalogues of Irish public library authorities. If you locate the item in your own library service's catalogue, you can make an online request for the item to your library service. If you find it in another library service's catalogue, you can make a request to your own library service to obtain the item for you by completing the online booking form. The item will be delivered to your local branch and you will be notified once it has arrived. Please note that requests to other library services may take a little time to fulfil.

Your request will be sent directly to your library service and if you have queries relating to a request, you should contact your library service directly.

In order to place a request, you must be a member of an Irish public library service. If you are not currently a member of a public library, it's easy to join. Just contact your local branch to fill out an application form. To join you will need to present identification with proof of your current address. In some cases a small administration fee is applied. Young people will need to have the application signed by a parent or guardian.
