Book Retrieval

Please send a list of material to be retrieved via email to lib.dl.accessibility@msu.edu. These materials will be held at the Circulation Desk for pickup. Expected turnaround time is two business days.

Authorize another person to check out books on your behalf

Patrons who cannot come in to the library to pick up the requested books may fill out a form to have someone else pick the books on their behalf. This process takes a few days to complete. To authorize another person to check out material, please email lib.dl.accessibility@msu.edu with your request.
