Books at Maret

Maret has books covering many of your topics. Search the library catalog to see what books we have available or ask a librarian for help.

American University Books

You may want to request additional books from the AU library. Here's how it works: Maret students can borrow books (and only books) from the American University library. Search the American University library catalog. Make sure to limit your search by location to American only. Copy down all the information about any books you want (including title, author, call number, and location), and email it to library@maret.org or bring it to the circulation desk. Librarians get the books for you from American within 48 hours, and you can return them to the Maret library when you're done.
