Items & Collections
Finding What You Need:
Search our online catalog to see if an item is available at our library. The catalog can tell you if an item part of our collection, if it's checked in, and where to find it. If an item is checked out you can put a hold in the item so that we will notify you when it is checked back in. If the library doesn't have the item at all, we can request to borrow it from another library through an interlibrary loan.
