If you cannot find what you are looking for at NNMC, then we can request items from other libraries • This requires advanced planning – it can take 2 weeks to get an item in, depending on where the item is located • Ask the person at the desk for a request form • LIBROS reciprocal agreements: • You can borrow from other libraries in the LIBROS consortium, but you will need a “permission slip” from us that indicates you are in good standing with NNMC, and you are subject to the other libraries’ lending rules and fines.
