Horse Program CD

     
This CD contains All of the program materials and helpful publications from other states. 
The cost is $8.00 and includes shipping.  

This library was established through funding from the Minnesota Horse Council, memorials, and donations.  Close to 400 items are available through this library.  The library consists of videos, books and slides. 

A deposit, returned when the material is back in the library, and shipping and handling is the only cost.  Make checks out to: MN 4-H Horse Association Library.

You do not have to be in 4-H to order items.

Before any items will be shipped, the deposit must be on file at the library.  If requested, the balance of the check will be refunded to the borrower upon return of the items or left in the file for further orders. 

I recommend that you e-mail me at: mn4hhorselibrary@hotmail.com before you order to verify the availability of any item. If you do not, please be sure to include at least one alternate title.

Interlibrary Loan

Many of the books listed in the catalog are available at your local library.  If they are not, they use a process called Interlibrary Loan that can get you the book without requiring a deposit.  The state has just made this process a little easier using MnLink which is a search engine that looks at library catalogs throughout the state.  You can find this search engine either on your local library's website or at:  http://www.mnlinkgateway.org/zportal/zengine?VDXaction=ZSearchSimple 

You must have a current local library card - with no fines.  If you find the book you want, you can request it yourself with the "get it" button, the book will be sent to your local library for you to pick up. 

And just a couple of hints.  An ISBN search works best.  If you have to do a title search, put it in quotes to search as a phrase.  If the process does not work for you, your local library should be able to assist you."
