Borrowing materials
You may use materials in the library. Alzheimer's Association
staff and Association volunteers may request materials directly.
Materials are lent for a four-week period. The public may
directly request photocopies of articles for $10 an item.
The library does not lend items from its collection directly
to the public. We do loan items through local Alzheimer's
Association chapters, and we participate in interlibrary loan.
The public may request books, videos and other physical formats
through a local chapter or
by going to their local library and requesting an interlibrary
loan.
Information requests/Requests

Requests can be made online, in person or by telephone, fax,
mail or e-mail. Association staff and volunteers please include
chapter name, and the title and call number of each item when
