ELL Resources: Finding Books in the Library

Find great resources for non-native English speakers.

How to borrow a book

If you find a book that you like and want to take it home, take the book to the main desk near the front of the library.  Look for the sign that says BORROW.  Staff at the desk can check out the book to you.

You can check out books for 3 weeks. 

If you need to have these items for longer, you can renew the book or movie in person at the main desk.  You can also call the library and renew your materials over the phone.
