The Harlem Public Library and Aaniiih Nakoda College Library are collaborating to provide a courier service for those people who are unable to find transportation to come from Ft. Belknap to the library in town. Every Monday and Friday, excluding holidays, we will send requested materials from the Harlem Library to ANC Library via a courier who has volunteered his services.

To participate, you must have a library card from the Harlem Public Library, Blaine County Library, or Havre-Hill County Library and be in good standing. You may access our online catalog through our website at http://www.harlempubliclibrary.org. When you know what materials you need, please notify Amber at ANC Library and we will get the items sent. Please contact the Harlem Library if you have any questions.
