Picking Up Books at Memorial Library
Have you requested a book to be picked up at Memorial Library?
Patrons can view the status of pick-up requests in their library card/account. Go to the Library tab in myRedDragon and scroll down to the lower right side of the page and click on “Your Library Account”. If you have ONESearch opened, you can also get there by clicking on your name in the upper right corner.
After you click your name, you can click on “my requests” to view both ILL and pick-up requests, as well as the status. When a pick-up request is pending, you will see that status in the account.
