How do I place a hold? How many holds/requests can I place?

Patrons may place holds in person, online at My Account or over the phone and will be notified by email, telephone, and/or text message when the item is available. Items on hold must be picked up within ten business days.

Requests for items JCPL doesn't own can be made ONLINE, by calling 812-265-2744, or in person. Staff will determine whether the Library will acquire the item through purchasing or Interlibrary Loan. The acquisition process usually takes from 1-4 weeks.

You may make up to 3 ILL requests at once.
