This project was funded, in part, with an Institute of Museum and Library Services LSTA grant.

1. Request materials online, by calling your local Portage County District Library branch, or by calling 1-800-500-5179, ext. 220. Indicate the Library Express location where you want to pick up your library materials. See a list of locations here.
*** You must have a library card from PCDL, Kent Free Library, or Reed Memorial Library to use this service. 

2. You will receive a phone call to let you know that your items will be available on the next business day. Library Express items are delivered Monday through Friday. On the day your items are checked out, you can pick up your delivery after 5:00 p.m. If your record says an item is on the holds shelf (online message reads either "In Transit" or "Ready for Pickup"), it has not yet been delivered. 

NOTE:  Should you receive phone or email notification on a weekend day, you should expect your material(s) to be available after 5:00 p.m. on Monday (and on Tuesday if an observed holiday falls on Monday).

3. To retrieve your items, go to the Library Express location you selected and type in the last seven digits of your library card number, then press enter. The locker, or lockers, containing your library materials will automatically open. The items have already been checked out to you and the due date receipt will be attached. 

4. Return materials to the book drop located next to the Library Express lockers. Please do not return materials to one of the locker openings.

5. You can renew your materials online, by calling a PCDL branch library, or by calling 1-800-500-5179, ext. 220.

     *** Your first library card is free of charge. There is a $1.00 charge for replacements. If you do not have a card, you may stop by any Portage County library for an application. Patrons, ages 18 and over, may print out an application (page 1) and a consent form (page 2) to complete and mail in.
