You will be notified by telephone or by mail when the item has returned. The library will hold the material at the Circulation Desk for 7 days before returning it to the shelves.

Requests for Items at Other Libraries

Interlibrary Loan

If you need an item that is not in our collection, you may request the item through Interlibary Loan. Request forms are available at the Reference Desk, outside the ILL Office and at the Circulation Desk. Requests may take about 10 days to arrive, SO PLAN AHEAD!

Suggestions

The library welcomes suggestions for additions to our collection, although budgets will not always guarantee the purchase of all suggestions. To submit a suggestion, either speak to a librarian at the Reference Desk or use visit the Comments & Suggestions page.
