INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICES

ALL ABOUT ILL

Interlibrary Loan ( or ILL) is a system that allows libraries to share their resources. If our collection does not include an item you are looking for, and you have an adult-type library account in good standing, you can submit an ILL form (online or in person at the circulation desk) for it. Certain items cannot be requested (new releases or those published within the last 6 months), but these items can be put on request to be considered for purchase for the library's collections.
A limit of 5 ILL requests can be made at one time.
Shipping Fees are split between the library and patron (each paying for it to be shipped one way).
The lending library can also assess any fees they wish for their items including fees for lost or damaged items.

The lending library can also set the terms for their items (length of time for the loan as well as whether or not patrons are allowed to take the items of our library's property
If an item is lost or damaged, we will also assess a processing fee of $20.00 for items still in print or $35.00 for items no longer in print.
Shipping fees are still expected for requested items that are not picked up from the library.
You will be asked to agree to all these terms before being allowed to use ILL
ILL privileges can be revoked for patrons whose behavior jeopardizes our standing with the libraries who choose to loan to us.
