What better way to celebrate the changing seasons than to bring spring into your home? There are so many simple ways to change the look and feel of your personal space and for our first craft project we would like to "light up" your living room by customizing candle holders and centerpieces!

Bring glass candle holders, bowls, etc and the Library will provide the rest!

The group will meet in the lobby area at 4PM and then move to the back of the main reading room (far right hand corner by Reference) to work on crafts.

We look forward to meeting you all and seeing the creative designs you come up with!

Focus On... InterLibrary Loans (ILL)

InterLibrary Loan (ILL) services through Luke AFB Library are free. Don't you just love that word? "Free" has such a nice ring to it!

If you have never used ILL before it is a service that allows libraries to borrow books from each other so that we can better serve our patrons. Most Libraries do charge for this service but here at Luke AFB we believe in being fee free whenever possible. Through our interlibrary loan program we have access to 38,000+ library catalogues across America. Whether you need books or peer reviewed journals we have you covered.

If you choose to take advantage of this great service, please keep the following in mind;

• You must have a library account in order to use interlibrary loan services
• Items must be signed out and signed back in which means that you cannot leave them in the book drop
• The due date for each item is set by the lending library so if you need to renew you must contact us at least two days prior to the due date
• There are some items that cannot be requested such as DVDs, any other audio/visual materials
• Books must be at least 6 months old
• Only certain libraries will lend text books.
