!If you can't find an item in BTPL's catalog, try searching the MeLCat catalog for the item. If you find items you'd like in MeLCat, you can request that they be shipped to BTPL for FREE.  The MeLCat catalog is an interlibrary loan program comprised of several Michigan libraries -- including Southfield and West Bloomfield -- that have merged their holdings into a single online database.

Searching the MeLCat database from BTPL's online catalog is easy. Simply click the "Search MeLCat" button, and when you find an item of interest, click "Request this item" to have it sent to BTPL for you to check out. Delivery averages three to five business days. The loan period for all MeLCat items is 3 weeks, with two one-week renewals. See the Interlibrary loan/MeLCat FAQ for more information. Other MeLCat libraries include:

Albion College / Public Library Bayliss Public Library Bloomfield Township Public Library Capital Area District Library Central Michigan University East Lansing Public Library Escanaba Public Library Grand Rapids Community College Kalamazoo College Library of Michigan Michigan State University Ovid-Elsie Public Library / Public Schools Peter White Public Library Southfield Public Library University of Michigan - Dearborn West Bloomfield Public Library

MeLCat is funded in part by the State of Michigan through the Library of Michigan. Additional project support comes from the Federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) via the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS).
