Inter-library Loans

Did you know that we can do Inter-Library Loans?

If you have an active account with us and you want to order items the library doesn't own, we'll be glad to help. This is a great resource for voracious readers, home schoolers, and people doing research. And for anyone who wants to use the service!

We can get all kinds of things through ILL: books on CD, DVDs, books.... We've even been able to help people get one-of-a-kind resources like a Latin learning kit or a genealogy text.

Making a request is easy - come to the circulation desk and ask for an ILL form.

However, we do have limits on what we are able order. An account can only have 2 ILL requests at one time. We are unable to order items the library already owns in any format, textbooks, new books, and other high-demand items. The librarian will make the final determination on what is ordered. And finally, please be aware that requested items may not be available.

If you do receive an item you ordered, please be courteous and return the item before the listed due date. We depend upon you doing this to keep our borrowing privileges with other libraries intact. If you need a renewal, please let us know a minimum of one week before the listed due date. This gives the lending library a chance to respond to the request. Finally, please leave the borrowing sleeve on the item (it's how we check it in and out).
