How to find book materials or other physical media

Steps:	First, check to see if the item you want is in the Sawyer's collections...
Sawyer Free Library Catalog (Gloucester)	Search the Sawyer Free Catalog on the left. If you find the item, simply visit the Library and get it from the shelves. Do confirm in the catalog that it is not already checked out before coming.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL)	If the Sawyer Free Library does not have the item, you may suggest the Library purchase the item, or you may request it from another library...
NOBLE Catalog (North Shore libraries)	First, log into My Library Account. If you find the item by searching the catalog on the left, you may request the item from the holding library by using the Request button at the upper left of the screen. When the item arrives at the Sawyer Free Library, you will be contacted to pick it up.
Virtual Catalog (Massachusetts)	If the item is not in the NOBLE catalog, you can search a union catalog of all Massachusetts libraries to see if it is there. Search the Virtual Catalog on the left. To begin a search, follow the link on the left and select NOBLE as your network, and enter your library card number. Continue by entering your PIN number on the next screen, and then carry out your search by following the Searching/Requesting button. If you find your item you may initiate a request from the holding library directly from the Virtual Catalog. When the item arrives at the Sawyer Free Library, you will be contacted to pick it up. You may also check on the status of the request using the Virtual Catalog
WorldCat Library Union Catalog Advanced Search	If the item is not in the Virtual Catalog, you can search library catalogs outside of Massachusetts by using WorldCat at the left. When carrying out your search, you may specify your location to find the nearest copy. If you find the item you will need to get in touch with the SFL's Reference Department to learn more about acquiring the item (you may also call at 978-281-9763 ).
Neighboring Library Catalogs	The following two union catalogs are searched using Virtual Catalog, but you may also search them directly if you are considering visiting the holding library to use the item.
MVLC Catalog (Merrimack Valley Library Consortium)	Includes Rockport, Essex, Ipswich, Hamilton-Wenham, Newburyport, and Manchester.
MLN Network (Minuteman Library Network)	Includes Cambridge, Brookline, Watertown, Newton, and Belmont.
