How to search our catalog

The Jesup is a member of Minerva, which allows patrons to search not only the Jesup’s catalog but also other libraries throughout the state of Maine. To search the Minerva catalog click here. To search just the Jesup’s books, choose Jesup Memorial Library from the list of locations under the search bar or to search all libraries in the Minerva system keep the location list at “ALL MINERVA LOCATIONS.”

How to access your account

If you do not have your card or cannot find your number, call us at 207-288-4245 or email info@jesuplibrary.org.

How to request or place a hold on an item

To request an item from the Jesup you can call the library at 207-288-4245, or email info@jesuplibrary.org to place a hold or request an item through Minerva. To request an item in Minerva, sign into your account and then search for the item and click on the title. Then click request. If the item you are looking for is not at any Minerva library you can also search MaineCat by clicking the MaineCat button on the Minverva page that says “Search MaineCat.” If MaineCat has the item then you can request it using your library card.

If the item you are looking for is not in Minerva or MaineCat, call the library at 207-288-4245 or email info@jesuplibrary.org and we can try to find it from another library.
