Although the main library collection is not circulating, multiple copies of several books and periodicals—especially ones with Josephy’s work or of particular interest to the Nez Perce story and local history—make up a small but growing lending library. We are mounting a campaign to put more books into the “lending” section of the Josephy Library. We don’t have it all figured out yet, and we do not have the manpower or women power to do a full-on circulation library. Our lending library will be largely self-service and self regulating. The books in it are all duplicates or even triplicates of what we have on the main shelves. We still value them of course, but we will not lose sleep if one of them disappears. Checkout time is two weeks.
Come by the library to check out a book today!
