Dundee Library’s Conversion From To An E-Library (Express Library)
With the recent conversion of the Dundee Public Library from a conventional lending Library to an E-Library (Express Library) wherein the inventory carried by the facility will be books no more than five years old by popular authors of fiction and non-fiction covering the years from 2009 to 2014. However, if a patron seeks a book or books that do not fall within the parameter years stated and it is an item you have a wish to obtain as part of your reading material to be loaned from the Dundee Library, arrangements can be made to reserve that item, if it is available within the Polk County Library Cooperative System or from farther afield. You can make that request by asking a Library staff member to reserve the book or books in question and you will be duly notified, when the book is available for pickup. The same would apply to an E-book available to be downloaded via the PCLC Overdrive format, although notification , would come directly to your e-mail.
