Any adult Wisconsin resident may request a maximum of five items. You must be 18 or over to use this service so parents must check out books for their children.The loan period is four weeks or 28 days.
Please use this form to check out books.
We send the materials to your local public library through the Wisconsin Libraries Delivery Network. Your local library will notify you when they arrive. Just pick them up and return them at your public library.
If your local library is not a member of the Delivery Network, we will mail the materials to you free of charge. You are responsible for mailing them back to us. It is a good idea to keep the packing materials to reuse when you return the items.
If you live within the area served by South Central Library System, the materials should arrive in one to two days. If you live outside South Central, it could take up to five days.
If an item is not available, we will let you know.
You cannot request additional materials until you have returned the previously loaned items.
UW-Madison faculty, staff, and students should use MadCat to recall or retrieve a book or other item. Faculty, staff and students at other UW System campuses, UW Extension and UW Colleges should use their institution's established procedure for borrowing from another UW System Library.
