How do I request materials on the catalog?
1. Go to the library catalog here: https://paulmemorial.biblionix.com/catalog/
2. In the top right corner, log in to your member account using your card number and password.
If you don’t know your membership number, call or email us and we will assist you. Your default password is the phone number you used to sign up for a card (unless you updated it).
3. Browse the catalog listings or search for a specific title. When you find what you are looking for, click on the title. The box will expand to show you the item’s details. (Green box means the item is available. Red means it is currently checked out.)
4. Select the button that says “Reserve this item” (located near the top left of the box).
5. A pop-up will appear for you to select your preferred method of notification (phone call/text/email). Then press “Place reserve.”
That’s it!
We will receive a notification of your request. Once we have processed your request, we will notify you when the material is available for pickup.

How will I know if my materials are ready for pickup?
You will receive an email, text, or phone notification, based on your preference. (You can choose how you’d like to be notified when you reserve books for pickup through the catalog, or when you call/email us directly.)
Is the NH Inter-Library Loan Service available?
