Do Not Worry!

You may still request the item from the Library Catalog.

Requesting a Checked Out Item (i.e. NOT on the shelves):

• Places you on a Hold List for the item
• PSC Library contacts you when the item is returned
• You must check it out in 3 days!

Requesting an item from Chadron State College or Wayne State College:

• The other library will mail the item to Peru for you to pick up
• PSC Library contacts you when the item arrives

Hint: If you haven't heard from the Library in 7 days, please contact us so we may ask the other library about the status of the request.
