Most Maine residents can use their local library card to borrow most materials at Fogler Library. Speak with Circulation staff; purchase may be unnecessary given we accept cards from most libraries in Maine.

  • No borrowing through our Interlibrary Loan Department; however, it is possible to request materials via the LibrarySearch (University of Maine system) and MaineCat (statewide) online catalogs
