What is interlibrary loan?
Interlibrary loan allows current library card holders to borrow materials from other lending libraries. Types of materials that may be borrowed include books, audio books, music, genealogical materials, microfilm, videos, and photocopies of articles.
There is a charge of $1.50 per item to help defray postage costs. Items not picked up will be returned to the lending library and postage is still owed by the patron.
How long does it take?
Most items are received within 10 days (some may take longer). The location of the lending library and mail delays will affect response times. Due dates are determined by the lending library but are usually 2–3 weeks. If requesting an extension please contact the library several days prior to due date. Some items may not be renewed.
