Borrow books from 100's of libraries across the U.S.

To do this, call or visit the reference desk at your local library and request that they search for the book at other libraries and borrow it for you via an "interlibrary loan" if they locate it.

To locate a library near you, check the State of Michigan's statewide library directory
