Interlibrary Loan has been suspended while we and other library systems get back to normal business operations.
For everyone’s protection, we will maintain appropriate social distancing measures. Your library card must be current and in good standing (fines under $10) to use this service. This service is for picking up items on hold ONLY. The library reserves the right to cancel curbside pickup due to inclement weather or limited staffing. There is a limit of 10 items. Scheduled service hours for curbside may be adjusted as needed.
We encourage you to use our online resources including downloadable books, newspapers, magazines and graphic novels. We also have a wide selection of homework resources including online tutoring and test prep.
