Circulation Services
Our purpose here at the library is to make information and resources available to our patrons. To that end, we offer a variety of items for checkout (see the list below under The Library's Collection). Books check out for three weeks; movies, music, games, magazines and catalogs check out for one week. If we do not have the item you need, we will make every effort to borrow it from another library through the Michigan eLibrary Catalogue (MeLCat) or intra-library loan from another state.
