If you are unable to find what you are looking for in our library, we would be happy to arrange an inter-library loan from another library in the province. These loans can usually be received within a couple of days. Should you be interested in searching for these titles on your own, you are welcome to browse on MAPLIN, an online catalogue of available resources. Ask one of our librarians for assistance.
If a book that you are looking for is already out on loan, please ask to have your name placed on the reserve list. When the book is returned to us, our library software alerts us to the fact that you are next on the list and you will be called immediately
