Borrowing Materials with Your Library Card
Borrowing Guidelines
Your library card entitles you to borrow books, movies, and other materials from your Library or any other library within the SAILS Library system. You may also request materials from any SAILS library at the Circulation Desk, by phone, or online, and have them delivered to the library of your choice. Materials may be returned to any library. For a full list of available materials see the Library Collection. To search the collection please log in to the Library Catalog.
