We are proud to offer the following collection items...

The Library has a fully automated circulation system. Our patron terminals can tell you what items we have, in which library branch it is located and, if it is currently circulating & when it will be returned. Library items may be renewed (a maximum of 3 times) by telephone .

Reserves 
Library staff can place reserves on items that are currently in circulation. The staff can also search for books that are not part of our collection and arrange to borrow them from other libraries through our inter-library loan department.

Returns
We ask that all items be returned at the circulation desk. Items returned when the library is closed may be placed in our book drop.
