Finding and Ordering Picture Books From Other Libraries

There are many additional multicultural picture books that are not currently in our library, but can be obtained through our library's Interlibrary Loan Service (ILL).

1. Log into your library account using the Sign-In button at the top right of the library page.
2. Sign in using your Netpass information. Find the library home page tab.
3. Try searching for one of the books below, or another title that you can't find in our catalog. If we don't own it, you should see a "Get It For Me From Another Library" link. Use this link to request that the book be mailed to our library for you to use.

Below are just a few examples of books not owned by our library, but can be borrowed through our ILL department at no extra cost to members of the IC community:
