You can reserve a kit for your library to have for up to 4 weeks via the Library of Michigan KitKeeper site. Your library will be listed by the full name of your branch location, under "Pickup Library." Do not be tricked by the "pick up library" verbiage, we will be shipping the kit to your branch directly via UPS.
Watch the KitKeeper Tutorial video or follow these steps:
There are two ways to search for a kit in Kitkeeper: searching by title or searching by availability date.
Next to the huge Reserve icon, choose the title you would like from the alphabetical dropdown menu.
Click Go.
You will get a list of dates when this title is available. Select the date you would like and click Reserve this Kit.
Next to the huge Dates icon choose the month and year when you would like to pick up a title from the drop down menu.
Click Go.
You will either get a calendar with available dates or a list of available title depending on your library’s lending policies.
If you see a list of titles: simple click Reserve for the title you would like.
If you see a calendar: click on a particular day to see what is available on the pane on the right side of the screen.
The project is made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
