- What is GMILCS?
-
GMILCS (pronounced "gee-milks") is the Greater Manchester Integrated Library Consortial System, a nonprofit consortium that serves the libraries of Amherst, Bedford, Derry, Goffstown, Hooksett, Hudson, Manchester, Merrimack, Milford, Salem, Windham, New England College, and now Londonderry. The Leach Library officially joined GMILCS in October 2024! For more information, visit GMILCS.org.
- Can I borrow materials at other GMILCS libraries?
-
Yes! Your Leach Library card is a GMILCS common borrower card. This allows you to directly borrow materials at other GMILCS libraries. You can also return materials and set your hold pickup location to any GMILCS library. Please note that each library may set its own limitations on what other GMILCS library cardholders can borrow. For more information, see the GMILCS Common Borrowers Card and Open Request Policy.
- Can I borrow museum passes from other GMILCS libraries?
-
No, museum pass circulation is limited to each library's cardholders.
- Can I get notifications via email or text?
-
Yes! To set up digital notifications, sign in to the library catalog with your library card number and PIN (the last four digits of your phone number). Open the Account Settings menu and select Contact Information. Scroll down to the Preferences section.
- Can I view my checkout history?
-
You will only be able to view your checkout history if you opt-in to keeping your reading history. While logged in to the catalog, select Reading History under Your Account to make changes. The library staff will not have access to your reading history.
- I requested an item at another GMILCS library to be picked up in Londonderry. When will it arrive?
-
If the item is available and does not have borrowing restrictions, the item will arrive in approximately 1-3 business days.
- I placed a reserve on an item owned by the Leach Library, but there are a lot of people in the queue.
-
Leach Library cardholders have the first priority on copies owned by the Leach Library. When a Leach Library copy is returned, the next Leach Library patron in the queue will receive the item first.
- Can I attend programs at other GMILCS libraries?
-
Maybe. Each library may choose to limit some or all of their programs to their own cardholders. We recommend checking with the library before registering.
- I'm trying to access Libby/hoopla/cloudLibrary, but I don't know my pin/password.
-
Try entering the last four digits of your phone number. If that does not work, please contact the library for further assistance at (603) 432-1132 or email the Reference Department.
- I don't have a Leach Library card, but I have a GMILCS common borrower card. Can I use the Leach Library study rooms or meeting room?
-
No, study room and meeting room use is limited to Leach Library cardholders. The single-occupancy TalkBox privacy pod is available to the public.
