Inter-Library Loan
If you don't find what you are looking for, ask the Librarian. We can get a loan from another library. These are delivered almost daily by courier. There is no cost to the user for inter-library loan.
If you need to use Gunnison Public Library, Savage Library at Western State Colorado University, or any other library across the state, ask the Librarian for a Colorado Library Card which will enable you to check out material there. The Colorado Library Card is a free service from Colorado libraries. Bring borrowed materials back to GHS Library for return to the lending library via courier.
