If a book you need is not available at URI, books can be requested through Interlibrary Loan. You can also check in the public libraries throughout the state of Rhode Island by searching in the Ocean State Libraries Catalog.

If the book you need is not available in either the URI Libraries Search or the Ocean State Libraries Catalog, you can submit an interlibrary loan request to have the book sent here from other libraries throughout the country.
