More additions are coming in the next few weeks and months, and will be posted to the NEKLS website when they’re announced. If you have a NExpress library card, go ahead and place a hold on any item and we’ll send it to your home library. If you don’t have a NExpress library card, contact your local public library if it’s a NExpress member library or contact the NEKLS office to find out how to get one.
