How to Find a Play

Finding a copy of the text of a play, either online or in print

Obtaining Plays from Other Libraries

What if you find out that your play was published in a book or periodical that our library doesn’t have? If it is a book, look in LINK+ to see if any of the participating libraries in California or Nevada have it. If they do, request it online, and the book should arrive here for you within 3 working days. If it is in a book that is not in LINK+, or if the play was published in a periodical, request it through OSCAR's interlibrary loan option, through which we can obtain materials from most other libraries in the U.S. Most plays published in periodicals are sent electronically and usually arrive within a couple of days.  Books are sent through the mail, however, and may take up to two weeks to get here; so, start your search early!
