Do take time to see what may have been added to the library’s collection. There are donated random titles that have not been mentioned. Browse the “of possible interest” table outside the library where you may be enticed to borrow a DVD, CD, or a current release. At times “free” books are placed on this table that you may want for your personal library. Conversely, you may find that you have materials on your shelf that you no longer use and may wish to donate it to the LAC library. As a matter of fact, we are currently looking for a concordance.
