You can search for the item that you would like to request by entering your search term (Title or Author or Subject, etc.) in the empty box. By accepting the "in All Headings" option, from the pull down menu, you will be conducting a broad search, which may produce numerous results.

  • Click on "Search"
  • The results of your search will now be displayed. The item record may be displayed if the library holds only one item that corresponds with your search. For multiple results, a list of titles will be displayed or you may see "Hackettstown Free Public Library" with a number to its right (click on the number to display the list). Click on the item of your choice from this list.
