Library Take-Out Service

Bowdoin faculty, staff, and students may request materials from any of the library’s circulating physical collections through the Library Take-Out Service. Staff will retrieve items and make them available for pick up in the Hawthorne-Longfellow Library vestibule.

• Identify an item held by Bowdoin, Bates, or Colby in CBBCat and use the CBB Request link  to place the request.
• You will be notified via email that your requested items are available.
• Materials may be picked up in the H-L vestibule during the library’s open hours. A OneCard is required for building access.
• Bowdoin-held materials requested on weekdays by 10am will be available by 12pm the same day. Items requested after 10am weekdays, and on weekends, will be available within 24 hours.

Staff will be following prescribed sanitation protocols when handling library materials. We urge users to handle these materials with discretion.
