Check It Out
Check It Out bags are a quick and easy way to get a great selection of books, magazines and movies without having to browse through our stacks or place lots of holds on individual items. Request a Check it Out bag using our online form, below.
- How does Check It Out work?
-
When you request a Check It Out bag using the online form, we’ll choose 5-20 items specifically for your interests and contact you when they are ready to be picked up. Just tell us:
- What topic you're interested in. The more information you give us, the more closely your bag can be tailored just for you.
- What format you’re looking for (e.g. picture books, magazines).
- How many of each format you hope to receive.
We'll handle the rest!
Please allow 5 to 7 business days for us to create your Check It Out bag. When it's ready, you'll receive notifications, like you would for a hold.
No time to select items or fill in a form? Stop by your local branch to ask what Check It Out bags might be available.
- How many can I have at one time?
-
You can have as many bags as you like, but if you’re requesting bags for more than one topic or person using the online form, we recommend completing one form for each request, for better customization.
- Where do I return the Check It Out bag?
-
You can return them to materials returns at any RPL location. If the bag doesn’t fit, you can place the books in the slot separately. If that doesn’t work, please ask a staff member and they'll be happy to help.
If you have any other questions about Check It Out bags, give our hotline a call at 306.777.6000!
