Resources for the Entire Community
Ask for an Interlibrary Loan
ILL is a service whereby a patron of our library can borrow resources and/or receive photocopies of documents that are owned by another library.
Request a Resource for Purchase
Give us recommendations for upcoming book orders! Request that the Library purchase specific resources like books and videos for circulation in the Library and online. Request materials as early as possible so that the Library has time for procurement before the material is needed.
