* HIGH DEMAND TITLES !!!

Some delays in filling orders are unavoidable when a new catalog or supplement is sent out to several hundred households, so if a book is not available at the time of your request, it will be put on reserve and mailed to you when it becomes available. You will not need to reorder the book(s). Reordering the book(s) will only delay orders that much longer. We appreciate your patience.

SPANISH BOOKS

Books in Spanish are available for children and adults. Some editions are bilingual.

LARGE PRINT BOOKS

When ordering titles with the prefix “LP” (Large Print) please specify that you only want the titles in Large Print, otherwise, if the title is available in regular print, it will be substituted, and if it is not, we will send you the “LP” title. We hope this will minimize the waiting time on high demand titles and also save the Large Print for patrons who can only read Large Print, which is a smaller collection. Thank You.

BOOKS-BY-MAIL provides library services to those who are not reached by public libraries. Call our toll free number 1-800-395-9144 and leave your requests on the 24 hour recording.
