Explore the VSQ Library Collection
The Village Square Library collection includes books as well as audio CDs and DVDs. Visit the library in person or on the web to view holdings from the convenience of your home. There one can determine if the item of interest is in the library’s collection, which includes over 5,000 books. Visit the online database of holdings at Colectorz.com – VSQ Book Collection .
- Click on the purple Book Collection band at the top.
- The online database for VSQ Library holdings appears.
- Use the various tools to find books of interest.
- Searching for a specific title? Search on Title, not author as an author search may not find all books in holdings by a particular author.
- Books and other media, CDs (including music CDs) are listed in the database. They are not listed separately. Note that some titles are available in different formats.
- Finding a holding in the database does not imply that it is on a shelf – it could be out on loan.
