Information About the library

Interlibrary Loan FAQs:
If we do not own an item you want, we can often borrow it from another library for you.
Q. Is there a charge for the service?

A. The search for an interlibrary loan item always begin within the state. There is no charge for any materials borrowed within the state. There is a $1.50 fee to cover insurance for materials borrowed from outside the state, and the library will check with you before pursuing this.

A. This varies a lot depending on where the item is located, whether it is checked out at the first location, etc. But generally, about two weeks is average.

A. Again, this varies as the lending library determines the due date, but generally about three weeks.

A. A late fine is charged.

A. Make requests at either the Reference Desk, the Circulation Desk, or by telephone.

A. The more information you can include, the better. Author, title, date of publication if available is helpful. To request a photocopy of a magazine article, include page numbers, full date of magazine as well as the title of the article and author.

A. You may request up to five items at a time.

A. No, we must return the item to the lending library using the due date they give us. The item may be re-requested in a few weeks if you wish.
