Does it Circulate?
The State Library's collections contain both circulating and non-circulating items. The catalog lists the status of all non-circulating items as "checked in." Use this table to help determine whether items will circulate or not. Although you cannot borrow non-circulating items, you will be able to use them at the library.
C=circulating, NC=non-circulating.
