MeLCat, the Michigan eLibrary Catalog

If you cannot find what you are looking for in our collection, give MeL a shot! MeL is a free service which gives our patrons access to the collections of over 450 participating libraries across Michigan. Items requested through MeL take one to two weeks to arrive and are delivered directly to the Northfield Township Area Library. Print materials/audiobooks are loaned for four weeks, and two weeks for AV materials. Four week loans can be renewed seven days before they are due. We are happy to renew all renewable loans for you by phone at (734) 449-0066 or at the circulation desk.

Please note: the majority of the time we have no control over which library the item is ordered from. If you are prompted to choose a library when ordering, choosing a library near us might speed up the process but we cannot guarantee that it will. We also cannot control how long it will take to arrive. 
This service is funded by the Federal Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) via the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) through the Library of Michigan, part of the Michigan Department of Education. Additional funding is provided by the State of Michigan and the Library of Michigan Foundation.
