Alumni & Guest Resources

Public libraries offer much the same services as a university library, but the services are available to the entire community. Public libraries offer resources such as:

• Checking out books, magazines, and newspapers from the library's print collection

• Interlibrary loans from libraries across the country

• Databases (example here)

• Videos, music, and audiobooks

• eBooks and eMagazines

In addition to sources of information, public libraries also provide a public space where all members of a community can connect and learn. These can include:

• Meeting spaces

• Internet access

• 3-D printing

• Homework help

• Games and book clubs

• Computer and digital literacy instruction
