Library users at any LPLS location can use the CLEVNET Online Catalog in the library or from home over the LPLS website. The CLEVNET catalog gives information about books, music recordings, DVDs, videocassettes, audio bookss, magazines, newspapers, musical scores, computer software, and other types of library materials that are owned by all CLEVNET member libraries.

You may use the online catalog to place a hold request on items that are owned by any CLEVNET library, including Lorain Public Library System. When you place the hold you can specify the pickup location where you want to have the item sent. Items borrowed from CLEVNET library locations can be returned at any other CLEVNET library location. If you change your mind later about having a hold on an item you can use the MY ACCOUNT option to delete your hold request.
Ask any librarian for a demonstration on how to use the Online Catalog or the My Account option. The librarian will be glad to help you.
