Requesting a book from Hollins and Roanoke College

We recommend using your local library as much as possible for research. However, if there are print books in our collection that you need and cannot access locally, we will mail a copy to you. Please request items by sending an email to ill@hollins.edu that includes your name, title of the book(s), and your mailing address. You will be responsible for returning the items on time and return postage.
