Express Collections      

Northwest Regional Libraries
Have you noticed anything new at you local library? We have recently added Express Collections to all of our branches. 

What is an express collection?
And what does it mean for you?

An express collection is a collection of the hottest, most requested titles. By putting these titles in an express collection you can read the latest seller or watch the hot new DVD without the long wait on the waiting list.

The catch:
express books have a 7 day loan period, with no holds and no renewals.
express DVDs have a 3 day loan period, with no holds and no renewals.
