Helen Fowler Library: Using Your Online Catalog Account

Your library account allows you to place holds on available items in our collections.

Your membership number can be found by using the Denver Botanic Gardens mobile app (after signing in with your Gardens account) or by emailing the Library.

1. Search for the item you would like to place on hold.
2. Click on the title.
3. Scroll to the bottom of the item's record, where you will see information about available copies. 
4. Click the green arrow in the upper left corner to place the item on hold.

5. Select a cancel date for your hold request (if it is not fulfilled by the selected date, then it will be automatically canceled).
6. Select "Delivery: Hold at library for pick up" - Note that inter-office mail is for STAFF only.
7. Click "Hold" to finish!

You will then be sent an automated email concerning the details of your hold request. Librarians will also be notified and will contact you again once your hold is ready.

You can also view or cancel your holds anytime.

Selecting "My Holds" under the My Account menu will bring you to a page of pending holds. If you would like to cancel, select the item and click "Delete". The library will be automatically notified of your cancellation.

Your library account allows you to renew eligible materials online.

2. Select the items you would like to renew, and click "Renew"

If the item is eligible for renewal - that is, if no one else is waiting for it and you haven't yet reached your renewal limit - you will receive an immediate confirmation that the item was renewed.
