RRPL Provides Access to Millions of Items

You can now access over 65 million items with your Rocky River Public Library card!  RRPL has become a member of SearchOhio, a consortium of public libraries across the state that have joined together to share books, movies and music. If we do not own the library materials you want or the item is already checked out, this free interlibrary loan service will save you time in locating the materials and resources that you need.

Best of all, you can request the materials yourself by going online to our catalog at www.rrpl.org. Delivery to RRPL will be within three to five days. You will be contacted using the method of notification selected when establishing your account.

In addition, the Ohio Library and Information Network, OhioLINK, will make available materials from a consortium of Ohio college and university libraries and the State Library of Ohio.  As a member of SearchOhio, RRPL has access to materials on a scale impossible to provide in more traditional ways.

“This is a game changer for Rocky River Public Library in terms of quick and easy access to countless library materials for our patrons,” said Library Director Nick Cronin.  “Not only is SearchOhio fast and convenient, but the fact that library patrons can make their own requests from anywhere they have access to the Internet is especially exciting."

SearchOhio and OhioLINK are perfect for students in need of research materials for school assignments, book clubs, as well as unique subject areas and older titles not found in our collection.

If you can’t find the item you want in our catalog, look under “Continue Search In…” and click on the SearchOhio link OR search ohpir.westervillelibrary.org  Once you find the item you’re looking for, click the Request Item button, select Rocky River PL and provide your last name and RRPL card number.

If you need assistance using SearchOhio or OhioLINK, please call the Library at 440-333-7610.
