Request or Renew Items

When searching the online catalog, patrons can place holds on any materials they are interested in.  Simply click on the  Request It button.  You will need your library card number and PIN, which the default PIN is the last four digits of the phone number attached to your library account. 

To place a hold on a title you cannot find in the online catalog, please contact the library. 

Please note that other libraries may restrict their new or popular items. 

If you want to extend your due date, most items can be renewed up to 3 times.  You can renew your items by:

• logging into your account
• calling the library at 217.345.4913
• emailing the library at information@charlestonlibrary.org
• stopping in at the library

If there are any pending holds, the system will prohibit you from renewing the item.
