More eResources Available Through Prospector
As a Mesa County Libraries cardholder, you can request Springer and Elsevier ebooks (mostly textbooks) as well as streaming videos from Films on Demand (32,000+).

The easiest way to locate ebooks is to do a search on Springer or Elsevier and include the subject, e.g.: "Springer microbiology".

You can locate streaming video by doing a search for "SILLVR FOD". To narrow the search, simply type in a subject, e.g. "SILLVR FOD cooking". You can use the facets on the left hand side of the screen to further limit your search.

IMPORTANT: You have to click on the “Request it” option and complete the form. You can’t just click on the link embedded in the record. You will be emailed the file to access as soon as possible.

Mesa County Libraries are now OPEN!

Please note, due to a state-wide order from Governor Polis, all patrons aged 11 and over entering the library will be required to wear a mask as of 7/17/2020. Masks will be provided for those who don't have one. Details on the new requirement will be added to this page as soon as they are available. Please do not come to the library if you feel ill.

Mesa County Libraries are now OPEN regular hours as of 7/13/20. Please see this blog post for details about services available.
