You now have the option to request physical materials owned by the A.C. Clark Library to be mailed to your home, dorm room or office.
How it Works
Requesting library material delivery using the Mail to Me Service is an easy process.
- Locate the material you need in the library’s catalog, OneSearch
- In the Get It section of the material’s catalog record, Sign in to your account using your StarID username and password
- Click on Request Delivery (address required) or Pickup
- Under Pick up Location choose Mail to Me
- Type in your mailing address in the Mail to Me Address text box
- Click Send Request
You will receive an email alerting you once your request is processed.
Library Pickup
If you prefer to pick up your materials at the library, choose Bemidji State University A. C. Clark Library as the pickup location when placing a request.
Renewals
Returns
Mail to Me items can be returned in the drop box outside of the library, inside at the Circulation Desk, or you can mail the materials back to the library. For a postage-paid mailing label contact the library here. Additional information on how to package and return materials will be sent with your requested materials.
Note: we can only provide pre-paid mailing labels to patrons living more than 20 miles away from a participating “courtesy return” library (see next paragraph). For all others, we ask that you mail your books back to the library using a paid/tracked service such as UPS or USPS/media mail, or use Minitex courtesy return.
For patrons living outside the Bemidji area, we strongly encourage you to take advantage of the courtesy return service provided by many participating libraries in the Minitex interlibrary loan network. You can find the list of libraries that participate in the Minitex Courier Service here.
Who can use Mail to Me
The Mail to Me Service is available to current Bemidji State University students, faculty and staff. Materials will be mailed to you at no cost.

- Reply to this email notifying us that you’d like this material delivered along with your home address, dorm room or office number
- We will let you know when the material is in the mail
- Please see the “Returns” section above for information on how to return your ILL material to the library
