Request an Item for Pickup

How To Request an Item for Pickup

Claremont Colleges Students, Faculty, and Staff
  • Pickup requests can be made via the Book Request form or by using the “Get this Item” button from within Library Search, which will fill in the request form for you.
  • When the form prompts you to answer the question “How would you like this item delivered?,” select “I would like to pick-up– Curbside or Walk-In” from the options in the drop-down menu.
Community Borrowers
  • Request items for pickup using the Community Borrower Book Pickup Request form.
  • This is currently the only way for community borrowers to view and check out Library items.
  • For information on how to obtain a Community Borrower card, please see the Access for Visitors page. Email library@claremont.edu with questions.

Picking Up Requested Items

Once the requested books have been pulled you will be notified and have two options:

  • Curbside Pickup: Make an appointment for curbside pickup using the link in the notification email. Appointment required.
  • Walk-in Pickup: Pickup your items at the Main Services Desk (located at the South Entrance). No appointment required.

Please note that turnaround time will depend on the number of requests we receive and staff capacity. Items are not available for pickup until you have received notification that they are ready. For current TCC students, staff, and faculty, if you need items quickly, you can come into the Library to retrieve items from the stacks and check them out immediately.

Tech Lending Pickup

TCC students, faculty, and staff may borrow any Tech Lending items for up to 28 days using walk-in or curbside pickup service.

Mailing Services

The Library is no longer offering mailing service now that we have reopened (effective August 16, 2021). Items are available for pickup or by retrieving them from the stacks.
