Our collection is searchable on-site at the Utica Public Library and is in the process of being available to be searched via computer. For assistance with the card catalog or with finding materials, please ask a librarian.
If the Library does not own an item, we can attempt to borrow it from another library and have it delivered to the Utica Public Library. Some transactions will involve a fee, which is charged back to you. We will notify you before placing a request if there is a fee. A staff member will be happy to help you.
