Find These Resources


Do you want to borrow or own a resource?

If you want to borrow, check the libraries you’re eligible to use. These include:

  • your public library
  • your academic (college or university) library where you take classes
  • your community college library. While it is also an academic library, it is one where you may be able to borrow not only if you are a student or an employee, but also if you live or work within its boundaries.

Google to find their websites. Their catalogs should be searchable online.
