The Sawyer Free Library now offers college-level course lectures through the Teaching Company audio CDs and DVDs. These innovative products bring engaging professors into your home or car through courses taught by great teachers from the Ivy League, Stanford, Georgetown, and other leading colleges and universities. It’s the adventure of learning without the homework or exams! The library has acquired a selection of the some 200 courses offered by The Teaching Company, and includes a variety of subjects in literature, philosophy, history, religion, fine arts, and science. The CDs and DVDs can be checked out for use at home or in your car for normal circulation periods.

   

Your Personal Library Account

Ask at the circulation desks about getting a PIN number (personal identification number) that you can use to access your library account. Your PIN number is your password to your account where you can see what items you have checked out and when they are due.

You can also renew items online with your account, place holds, and request books owned by other NOBLE libraries. Your account can be accessed from any computer station on the Internet by simply clicking the Login button on NOBLE's catalog page.
