eBooks
eBooks available through library subscriptions include a "click to view" link. Access and printing may vary depending on the licenceing agreement.
Books from the Internet Archive or Open Library may require a free account which you can create. If a book is already "loaned" to another user, you may add your information to a list to be informed when the book is available.
Books
Physical books in the library collection have a call number at the end of the "Availability" line. The number in parentheses indicates the number of copies available for loan. Books with call numbers from 000 to 799 are on the second floor. Books with call numbers from 800 to 999 are on the third floor. Books too large for regular shelves have a call number that begins with "Folio" and are housed on the main floor of the library.
The library uses the Dewey Decimal System to shelve books. The table below shows the order of books on a shelf. The number after the letter is treated like a decimal.
