The largest part of the collection (the General Collection) uses the Library of Congress classification system because this system allows for the very specific subjects that are used in research.
Use the Library Catalog to locate Library resources.
Books in the General Collection can be checked out & are located on the 1st and 3rd floors.
Call numbers beginning with A-K are on the 3rd floor, and L-Z are on the 1st floor.
If you have a valid D&E ID, that is your library card. If you are a resident of Elkins you may register as a community patron. Borrowing details are HERE.
