Search local libraries with WorldCat

Need language learning materials? Your local library is a great place to “check-out.” (Har har.) Libraries are not only limited to books — many also offer tapes, CDs, VHS casettes, and even DVDs. I’ve personally come across many FSI (Foreign Service Institute) courses, Pimsleur courses, and many books too.

Libraries are incredibly useful for previewing material. Preview it at the library or bring it home for a few days or weeks to give things a thorough look. If you like it enough, buy it online or at your local bookstore.

The only thing bad about libraries is going there to find something — waiting for a free computer, or even worse, browsing through the card catalogue. Not anymore — WorldCat to the rescue.

WorldCat makes finding material at your local libraries easy. “Search for an item in libraries near you.” Try it out — it’s free!
