Getting books from partner libraries
The Bethel library is in a consortium with a number of other libraries in the Twin Cities that share books between them via a daily courier service. You can request items from our partner libraries through LibSearch.
How do I request a book from a partner library?
- Click on the title of the book in your search results, look at the "Physical Copies" section of the detailed record
- Be sure to sign in, if you have not:

- If Bethel does not own a copy, or if our copy is checked out, check to see if another library owns the book
- If another library has a copy, click on the request link:

- Double check the information on request form that will pop up, and Submit your request
- When you receive an email telling you that the book is available, you may pick it up at the BU Library's Circulation Desk
