Click Submit and you will be taken to your account.

Looking for other books by your favorite authors?  Looking for a new author to try? Check out NoveList!

NoveList is a fiction database that provides reviews, searches, and more.  You can find books by genre, search for your favorite authors, find series information (in order!), search for similar books to your favorites and even search for a book by describing the plot!

 

Looking for a magazine or newspaper article?  Try EBSCOhost!

EBSCOhost is an online database of print articles.  You can search for articles using keywords, subjects, publications and more.

To access NoveList or EBSCOhost, go to EBSCO Publishing and log in.  (Stop in or call the library for the login info.)

Looking for a book or other item and can't find it in our library system?  You can search libraries all over the country using OCLC FirstSearch!

Go to OCLC FirstSearch and log in using the authorization number and password located below the expiration date on your Justice Public Library card.

If you find the item you were searching for, Justice Public Library cardholders may request it through our library.  Call or stop in at the library to place your request.  (Please see our Interlibrary Loan Policy for details on timing, renewals, fees, etc.  Most in-state loans are free.)
