Reserving Materials

The online library catalog displays the holdings of all 18 Chemeketa Cooperative Regional Library Service (CCRLS) libraries.  You can "place a request" on most of the items you find in the catalog.  If the item is available at another CCRLS library, the CCRLS courier will bring the item to the Silver Falls Library, generally within 2-3 business days.

There is no charge for this service unless you do not pick up the item ($1.00 fee), and you will be notified when it arrives.  You can place a request:

• In person or by phone at the Reference Desk (be sure to have your Library Card with you when you call).
• Through the library's catalog computers
• Online from home using the online library catalog.  Click here for instructions on reserving materials online.

When a copy is available for you, you will be notified by our automated system either by phone or by email.

Some CCRLS materials are non-requestable:

• Reference/Library Use Only materials
• Chemeketa Community College DVD/VHS videos
• Salem and West Salem New books
• Salem and West Salem DVD/VHS videos
• Salem magazines
• Monmouth audio-visual materials
• Stayton DVDs
• Woodburn DVDs

If you are looking for an item not available in the CCRLS catalog, you may either request that the library purchase the book, or arrange to borrow the book via Interlibrary Loan.
