Hi Elizabeth - we do not seem to have any of the study books you are looking for. However, it may be possible to obtain one from the West Haven libraries if they are able to do interlibrary loan or if you are taking courses and at institution that offers interlibrary loan services. If you need more assistance finding some options, feel free to give our library information desk a call at 203-943-8130 ext 101 and one of our library staff members would be happy to help you take a deeper look.

Hi Elizabeth - Here is some information on your question: All print items may be borrowed for three weeks with three renewals of one week (unless there is a hold on an item) up to a maximum of 30 items. All DVDs may be borrowed for one week with one renewal of one week (unless there is a hold on the item) up to a maximum of ten items. All other audio visual items may be borrowed for three weeks with three renewals of one week (unless there is a hold on an item) up to a maximum of 10 items. When you request an item from another branch, we can hold up to 3 items for up to 3 days, except for DVDs which will be held to the end of the day then returned to the shelf. Hope this helps! If you have further questions - please feel free to give us a call any time.
