About: Books

A search of the Library Catalog tab will show you all book titles in both print and electronic formats. Click the link and then the Library Catalog tab to enter in the title, author, or ISBN information to search for your title or subject matter.  Remember to use the "Availability" limiters on the left side of the results page to refine your search results to a preferred format.

Most ebooks can be downloaded to your device. Print titles are arranged on the shelves by Library of Congress Call Numbers (A-G on the 3rd floor, H-Z on the 4th floor). The location and Call Number is listed under each print title in the catalog.

Here is a books-only search for your convenience! Try title, author, subject, or keywords.
