Interlibrary Loans

While the library has a lot of books, we don't have every one.  If there is a book that you want to read and we don't have it, put in an Interlibrary Loan Request!  An interlibrary loan is when one library loans another library a book for a patron there to use.  It usually takes around two weeks for a book to arrive at the destination library after it has been requested.  If you have any questions, stop by and talk to the library staff—they'll be glad to help.
