Ask us to show you how to locate compact
discs, movies,
books on tape, poems, plays, and just about anything else.
The library is not a bunch of books thrown into a
building. Everything is organized in some meaningful way. Part of our
job
is to show you how to find whatever it is you want to find.
.
We can get books, journal
articles,
and microfilm from almost everywhere
.
If you can't find a book in the Bergen County
Cooperative Library System, then request an Interlibrary Loan
(ILL).
Items may arrive anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months. Photocopies
of
journal articles may also be requested. ERIC documents may be requested
from the Phillipsburg Free Public Library (microfiche only).
.
We can find the information you
need
.
The Montvale Public Library offers reference
assistance in person, over the telephone, and by e-mail. Whether you
need
contact information for a corporation or government agency, or have to
settle a bet over a bit of trivia, our staff can provide you with the
fast
facts you need, or will refer you to the proper authority, agency, or
service.
