If you're looking for special expertise or publications not available at the Library, you may now be able to find it through the Orcas Island Community Library Network. The Network consists of private library owners who have volunteered to make their collections and knowledge available to community members on some basis.

If you're looking for publications on chess, for instance, notice on the list below that Phil Heikkinen has volunteered to share his chess book library. So take a look at the list of people and resources below. It's up to you to make arrangements with the relevant Network volunteer. For most, the best way to connect is via email. To create an email address from the information listed below replace the word " at " with the at-sign, "@" - so for instance, "pheikkinen at orcaslibrary.org" becomes "pheikkinen@orcaslibrary.org"
