Smart Lockers
NOTICE: New ID cards may not work with the Smart Locker. Please contact Circulation to ensure your account has been updated before you pick up your items.
Request your library books online and retrieve them from the UWinnipeg Library Smart Lockers. Please wait until you receive an email notification indicating your hold is ready; books will not be ready for pickup before the notification is sent.
If you are a current UW student, staff, or faculty, you will need either your UW issued ID card or barcode number. If you have not already obtained your UW issued ID card, or you have lost it and need a replacement card, contact Student Central and then visit the library to update your account.
If you are not a current UW student, staff, or faculty and you have a borrowing account with us, you will need your UW library issued barcode number, UW issued ID card, or valid barcode number from a participating institution, depending on what you have on file with the library.
