RESERVE MATERIALS AND INTERLIBRARY LOAN

You can request (reserve) an item online via the SWAN Catalog whether it is owned by the Chicago Ridge Public Library or by another library in the system.

If the item you are looking for is not available via the SWAN catalog, please ask a librarian. We may still be able to find the item for you and place an out-of-system interlibrary loan at your request. 

Items loaned from libraries in Illinois are free of charge. Chicago Ridge cardholders will be charged $5.00 and non-residents $10.00 for items loaned from out-of-state libraries.

A maximum of 50 reserves are allowed on a Chicago Ridge Library card at any one time. You can not place reserves on our “Hot Copy” books and only Chicago Ridge cardholders can place reserves on new DVDs.
