INTERLIBRARY LOANS:
Books and AV materials may be borrowed for you from other libraries. A service

You will be notified by mail or by e-mail when your hold becomes available. A

available for you, you will not be charged.

Outside return chutes next to the main entrance are open 24 hours a day, 7 days
a week. In addition, a drive-up return box is open during library hours. Any
materials may be returned in these depositories. Please put items in one at a
