Request an Interlibrary Loan

• Material we already own, including non-circulating items, unless marked lost or withdrawn in Polaris
• The same title already borrowed by the same patron within one year
• Playaways or Wonderbooks
• ebooks or eAudiobooks, or software
• Whole issues of print periodicals
• Multiple copies of one title, e.g., books for book clubs
• Materials published or released within the current calendar year

• You may have up to five active requests at one time.
• Active means requested/pending, held or checked out

• We do not charge a fee for this service.
• We make every attempt to find materials at libraries that do not charge.
• In some cases, however, materials are available only at libraries that charge.
• When you fill out the request form, you may indicate whether you are willing to pay any fees imposed by the lending library for the items requested and, if so, what is the maximum dollar amount you are willing to pay.

You are responsible for returning any borrowed items by the due date listed, as well as for any charges that may result from loss of or damage to the items borrowed.

• Items usually arrive within three to four weeks of the date of the request.
• If items are needed by a certain date, please specify the date on the request form.
• Loan periods start when the items are sent from the lending library, not at checkout.

• Loan periods are determined by the lending library.
• Renewals are sometimes allowed and must be requested before the due date.
