by Carlos M.N. Eire
The author was one of more than 14,000 Cuban children flown out of Cuba to Miami at the start of the '60s. His deeply moving memoir describes his life before Castro, among the aristocracy of old Cuba and later, in America, where he turned from a child of privilege into a Lost Boy.

How to Get a Library Card Request to Buy Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
How to Get a Library Card
To get a Library card, come to the Library at 201 S. College Avenue and bring identification and proof of your current address (driver's license, state i.d., a recent utility bill).
You will need to fill out a form at the Circulation Desk and you will be given your card. To make the process faster download the form, print it and have it ready for the Circulation Staff when you get here.
The process takes about five minutes, unless we are unusually busy.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)
Interlibrary Loan is a FREE service where we ask other libraries if they have a book that you want in the event that we don't have it. If they do then they mail the book to us, we check it out to you, and then you return it back to us when it is due. We will then mail the book back to the lending library.
In order to utilize this service please speak to a library associate at the Information Desk.
Download a PDF copy of the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) policy.
