Interlibrary Loan

While the library has access to a lot of articles, we don't have every one.  If there is an article or journal 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 material for a patron there to use.  It usually takes around two weeks for an item 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.
