If we don't have a book you want, we can borrow it for you from another library, via interlibrary loan. Just ask for an ILL form at the circulation desk. (Items published within the last six months are not generally available for ILL.) If you are looking for a new item and would like to suggest we add it to the collection, ask for a book suggestion form at the circulation desk. We will happily issue you a new one!
