Looking for a book--but the Library doesn't own it? We have a solution!
Simply let us know what you want and we'll gladly place an ILL (Inter-Library Loan) for the book you're after. Or...if you prefer, search the California Library Catalog from the comfort of your home or office. When you find what you like, give us a call or send us an email and we'll request it for you. (Please note: New books published for less than 6 months are usually unavailable through ILLs.)
This service is offered free of charge to all library patrons!
