SUMMIT COUNTY RESIDENTS

BIBLIOGRAPHY

 

Now look up the book number you jotted down below and order the book through interlibrary loan.

If you haven't used interlibrary loan - it is GREAT! Almost every library in the US belongs to interlibrary loan. If a book circulates you can get it sent to your library. Give your librarian the Book Title, Author and Reference Number. They will then request the book through the interlibrary loan system and call you when it comes in. My library charges me anywhere from $2 to $5 to obtain a book. What a deal. If the book doesn't circulate you are still not out of luck. The Library of Congress in Washington DC will probably have a copy if you visit DC. Or you may be able to get a film from the Mormon Church. Most of the books below should be available through interlibrary loan - I checked most of them out of the Summit, Jefferson, and Denver County, Colorado Libraries.
