Click the “Patron” button when asked what type of user you are.

Searching for an Item

Enter a title, author, or keyword into the search box.

Use the “Advanced” search option if you want to narrow your search by specific fields like author or title.

Review your results. You can narrow the list using the filters on the left side of the screen.

Placing a Hold / Request

Once you find the item you want, click the request icon next to the item on the results screen, or click “Request This Item” on the item's full details page.

You'll be prompted to log in before your request can be placed.

Confirm your request. You'll receive confirmation that your request has been submitted.

Tip: If an item has multiple formats (like book, large print or audiobook CD), make sure to select the format you want before placing your request.

Reviewing Requests

Log in and go to “Your Account.”

Select “Items from Other Libraries” to see a list of your current and past SHAREit requests.

From here, you can see the status of each request — for example, whether it's still being located on its way to your library, or ready for pickup.

Changing Your Pickup Location

Go to “Your Account” and locate the request you'd like to update.

Select the option to update your pickup location and then choose your preferred library location from the list.

Tip: Changing your pickup location may only be available before your item has shipped. If you don't see this option, contact your local library for help.

Canceling a Request

Requests cannot be canceled directly through your SHAREit customer account. To cancel a request, please contact library staff so they can cancel it for you.

Need More Help?

If you have any questions about using SHAREit, please contact your local library; staff have been trained on the new platform and are ready to help you get the most out of it.
