RVML's lending library contains over 10,000 items and everyone is welcome to browse the collection or purchase the books and videos we sell. Our collection is comprehensive, uncommon, well-organized and always expanding. We have things you won’t find anywhere else!

Our membership and cataloging systems are computer-automated, and our materials are all organized using the Dewey-Decimal system enabling easy browsing, searching, and check-out.
