How do I request a book, DVD, or other item?

Visit the library catalog. You may type the author, title, or keyword in the search box to locate an item.

To place your order, call (727-893-1074) or email (libraryinfo@mygulfport.us) the Library to place your request. Please provide your library card number, name, and title and format (DVD, book, large print, etc.) of the item when you make your request. Please be aware that if you would like an item transferred from another library that it may take longer due to a back log of items being shipped between locations.

Depending on availability, requested materials may be available as early as next day pick-up. You will be notified via a phone call or email when your items are ready for pick-up.

How can I get a form or document from the internet?

How do I ask a question or get assistance with research or reference?
