Interlibrary Loan
Patrons may request materials from other libraries when the items are unavailable in the Trinity County Library System. The Trinity County Library is a member of the North State Cooperative Library System (NSCLS) and participates via subscription to OCLC (Online Computer Library Center), one of the largest bibliographic utilities in the world. Because the Trinity County Library cannot afford to purchase every book that is published, it provides interlibrary loan access to the collections of other libraries.
Public Computers
The Library provides public computers for use including several computers obtained through a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. All computers are connected to the Internet and offer a wide variety of programs including educational programs for children, encyclopedias, atlases, Word, Access, Excel, PowerPoint and Publisher. The Library accepts advance reservations for its computers. There is a one-hour time limit on all computers when busy. All public computers are connected to a black and white laser jet printer. Paper for printing is available at the cost of .10 per page.
Trinity History Collection
We welcome the use of the historical collection housed in the Trinity Room including the local newspaper on microfilm. All patrons wishing to view the materials from the history collection must first check in with a staff member who will determine their needs and assist with locate the appropriate resources. The history materials are non-circulating and must be used in the Trinity Room or, if there are multiple items, inside the library proper. Our Canon microfilm reader-printer is available to view rolls of microfilm and microfiche. Printing to the reader-printer is available at the cost of .50 per ½ page or $1.00 per page.
