C4 Lending Library

The loan period is 30 days after you receive the book (Honor System). You are responsible for the safe and timely return of the book to the library. The book rate will take about one week after I put it in the mail. First-class is approximately 2 days. Indicate to me which method you prefer.

I will do my best to get your requests out in a timely fashion. If you are desperate for something, please email me as I check this frequently. Any suggestions and comments are appreciated.
