Select whether you want to:
You will need to wait for the person who has the book to return it. If the current borrower just checked the book out, she will be able to keep the book until the due date. If she has already renewed the book, it will be recalled. The due date will be no more than two weeks from when you made the request.
Loans from outside libraries may only be for a short period of time, depending on the policies of the lending library.
