*Prior to your visit…

Go to the Tidwell Library Catalog and search for a book by title or authorA keyword of a topic that interests you –

A subject that you like – mathematics, history, chemistry, science fair, economy, technology

Make a list of possible titles to check out.Place a hold on an available title or for an item

that is checked-out to be the next reader!

*Check this out!

*I like books that are classified as “historical fiction.”

*Look at my search:

I got over 600 results! If you also click “status” from the drop down menu, you will get the titles that are available now!

*Placing a Hold

*Although we have many titles, sometimes you want a specific book or title.

*All you have to do is place a “hold” on the title and we will deliver it to you as soon as the book comes in!
