MeLCat Unavailable
To better serve our patrons, the William P. Faust Public Library of Westland will be moving to a new online catalog system in June 2013. To help prepare for this transition, the library and its patrons will be unable to access MeLCat for interlibrary loan from March 11, 2013 until the beginning of July 2013. For more information, click here.
No MelCat renewals will be honored during this time.
