Inter-Library Loan
The resources of most Cape and Islands public libraries are catalogued through the CLAMS computer system. Most items on the system may be requested for delivery to the Eldredge Public Library for your use. The library staff is happy to show you how to enter a request, or to enter the request for you. We can also request items from off-Cape through the Virtual Catalog or through our regional Inter-Library Loan system.

Optelec Clearview Machine - a closed circuit magnifier that can display any book or paper on its video screen.
Reading Edge - a Kurzweil reader from the Xerox Company. Scan a book or typewritten page and a computerized voice will read the page aloud.
Zoomtext - Computer software to assist in using the Internet for e-mail and searching. Loaded in the public computer room with a large screen.
Books on Tape and Compact Disc - We have a large collection of recorded books, both fiction and nonfiction, to satisfy every reader's taste.
