Request an Item

Please complete this form to request materials that are not currently owned by Washoe County Library System, and we will do our best to fulfill your request. This form is intended for Washoe County Library users to request items for their own use. Please use this form to request only physical materials (print, CD, DVD, Blu-ray), articles (magazine/journal or newspaper), or microfilm. If you would like to request an ebook or downloadable audiobook, please search the library's digital collection and follow the prompts to recommend a title; when using Libby use the "Notify me" option. Learn more here. 

We will attempt to obtain your requested item(s) through whatever means we decide is the most efficient, practical, and fiscally prudent. Usually, your request will be fulfilled either by borrowing the material from another library for your use, or by purchasing it for the Washoe County Library collection, in accordance with our Collection Development Policy.

Please note: The publisher determines in which formats an item will be made available, if at all; we cannot guarantee that the item you request will be available in the desired format. If you are an author or publisher who would like to suggest or promote your materials for consideration, please contact Debi Stears, Collection Development Manager.
