All CCPL locations will be closed for an all-day staff training on Monday, October 13. We will reopen for regular hours on Tuesday, October 14.
The North Carroll Branch will be closed for renovations Monday, October 13 through Saturday, November 8, 2025. The bookdrop will remain open during the closure.
If we do not own a specific item, search Marina - Maryland's free statewide borrowing service. Materials obtained via Marina may take a week or two to arrive. Materials are processed and sent to your requested branch destination to be placed on hold and picked up.
Before placing a Marina request
How to place a Marina request
Reviewing your Marina requests:
Select 'My Account' from the profile menu in the upper right.
Status Information:
Marina requests will not appear in your CCPL account requests list until the item has been received at CCPL. Check your Marina account or ask your local branch to determine the status of your request.
If you are unable to find materials via Marina, a request can be made to other public and academic libraries across the United States. Interlibrary Loan materials may take longer to arrive depending on availability and delivery methods.Materials that can be requested include books, article scans/copies, DVDs, audiobooks, and other types of resources; however, many institutions do not lend new materials. Some libraries charge a fee for Interlibrary Loan materials and you will be contacted prior to ordering for approval of any applicable fees. Fees are payable at the time of pick up. Please consult with a librarian at your local branch or email us to place an Interlibrary Loan request.
