Interlibrary loan service (using the Hold Request feature) between the Coffee County Lannom Memorial Library and the Coffee County Manchester Public Library is now a reality.

Up to three books per person will be shuttled between the owning library and the borrowing library (where the patron chooses to pick up and/or drop off the book).  The courier service may take up to five days from the day the book becomes available until it is delivered by courier to the borrowing library for the patron to pick up.

Certain items, such as genealogy materials, reference materials and DVDs, will not be available for this interlibrary loan service.

Patrons should remember to indicate which library they prefer to pick up the book when placing a hold request.  Hold requests may be made by visiting the library in person or from a home computer by visiting the library’s website.

The problem is with the way that AOL does its caching in such a way that is not in keeping with the industry standards for iBistro; the AOL caching does not handle the session identifiers correctly.

Unfortunately, there is nothing that we can do on our side as iBistro is standards compliant, but AOL has decided to not render the site using these standards.

We recommend that you try using Internet Explorer or Firefox with your AOL acct.

As a patron of Lannom Library, you can download complete ebook and audiobook titles from R.E.A.D.S.

This is a free service and one that we are really excited to bring to you.

The R.E.A.D.S. collection will expand throughout the year so be sure and check it often for new titles.

Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library will help you read with your child. Every child will have books of their very own, at no cost to you, thanks to Governor Bredesen and the State of Tennessee, Coffee County Partnership for Tomorrow, Inc., other generous sponsors and Dolly Parton.

You can learn more at the Coffee County website. You can pick up registration forms at the county building in Manchester or at the circulation desk at the library.
