We also offer free access to thousands of online medical resources through the National Library of Medicine's MedlinePlus and PubMed databases, and other sources. Our library staff is available to help you find answers to specific questions and to help you use the computers.

Highlights from our collection include:

  • Consumer health books.
  • Newsletters, magazines and other periodicals.
  • Extensive collection of cancer resources, including information about prevention, diagnosis, treatment and quality of life.
  • Reference materials.
  • CDs, DVDs, and videos.
  • Web-based resources.
