Search WorldCat A collection of libraries from around the country (and even some from around the world).  If you do not find what you are looking for in our library catalog or MelCat, then you try to find a library in this collection that might have the book you are looking for.  Once you request an item from WorldCat it usually takes 2-3 weeks for it to arrive.

Search Jackson District Library catalog Looking for a book that we don’t have, but you don’t have a week or more to wait for a MelCat request to be processed?
