If We Don't Own It

Did you know that you can request items that the library doesn't own?

Howe Library

If you're a Dartmouth student, you can get a free library card to the the public Howe library in Hanover! 

Although the Dartmouth Libraries have a solid amount of books for leisure reading (try searching for some of your favorite titles in the catalog - see what you find!), public libraries specialize in these kinds of titles, including audiobook and eBook formats. Sign up for a library card to get access to their collections.
