Searching and Browsing the Library

There are two ways to view the library resources, including books, magazines, periodicals, videos, music, and hanging files.

The first method is to Browse the collection. Simply click on the Browse button on the left side of the screen. You may optionally select a particular type of media (books only, periodicals only, etc) or a particular topic (computers, magazines, etc).

The second method is to Search for an exact word or phrase. In the Search box to the lower left of your screen, click on one of the buttons beside Title or Author. Next enter your search text in the blank field. Finally, click on the Search button.

Your results will be displayed to the right side of the screen. You can learn more about the search results by clicking on the View link on the far right of each resource listing.

Signing Out Resources

In order to sign out a resource, you must visit our drop-in-center/office during Office Hours.

You may sign out a resource for three weeks. An office volunteer will ask you for your name and either a phone number or email that you can be reached at. This information will be kept confidential. Should the resource become overdue, you will be contacted and reminded to return the resource.

Contact Us

If you have any questions about the library or would like to sign out a resource, please contact us by phone or email.
