Instructions:
Please phone us to confirm the availability of books you are interested
in. In order to reduce paperwork and postage costs, books must be reserved
by phone. Please have the date of the list you are using and the item number
of the book(s) you wish to order ready when you call. If you have access
to a fax, you may fax your order or questions to the Library. Your order will be checked and a confirmation fax detailing the cost will be returned to you. Sorry, but inquiries and orders placed by mail may not be answered. Books may be paid for by credit card or by check. Large orders by non-members should expect a short delay in mailing as we check your credit card or personal check. We will reserve books in
your name for two weeks until your check arrives, but again, all books
should be reserved by phone to assure their availability. Magazine
orders will not be processed without a credit card number or pre-payment.
Postage and handling:
Cost will be dependent on weight and destination. When pre-paying, please get a total price quote prior to mailing check or money order.
All foreign orders (including Canada and Mexico) should expect higher postage
costs. Overseas patrons, please indicate whether you prefer air mail
or surface mail. Books are sent USPS or by UPS, depending on the
number of books ordered, the value of the books, and/or the physical size
of the order. Tennessee residents must pay the 9.25% sales tax.

To place an order, please call 423-894-8144. You
may also send a fax to 423-899-4869 and the library will confirm your order
and send you a reply fax detailing the total cost. Magazine orders
will not be processed without a credit card number or pre-payment.
