When using the Hoover Library catalog, the search setting defaults to Hoover-owned items only. To see items owned by Carroll County Public Library and Carroll Community College, change the Limit by field to All Libraries.
When you find an item you wish to borrow, click on Place Request and select the branch where you would like to pick up your items. Certain items have borrowing restrictions – please see a reference librarian if an item you wish to borrow is listed as non-circulating.
All requested items, once retrieved, will be placed on a bookcase by the library's front desk, labeled by name for retrieval.
Carroll Library Partners (CCPL, CCC): Hoover Library will transfer books to other branches for pickup; non-McDaniel patrons are not allowed into Hoover Library at this time.
