Suggest a Title HERE: Think the library is missing a vital title? A new release or classic that we should add to the collection? A tool or DVD? You name it, and we will consider it. No guarantees. Acceptance is based on cost, interest and space.

Submit an Interlibrary Loan Request HERE: Books and DVDs six months from publication or older may be requested. We get one delivery weekly, on Thursdays. It can take two weeks to get a title in (sometimes longer for in-demand books). The lending period is approximately two weeks. This is a great tool for reading through an author’s entire collection, or obscure titles we are less likely to have on our shelves. Books are sourced from other libraries within the State of Maine.
