  6. Double check to make sure Denton Public Library does not appear in the list of libraries that own the title.
  7. You will now see a list of different editions of the item. Under format it will list the format of the edition with a number after it. Unless you're looking for a specific edition, find an item with a larger number if possible. The larger the number, the more libraries that have a copy which will increase the likelihood of your request being filled.
