Interlibrary Loan Request

With this form you can request a book from another library.

Interlibrary Loan Policy
1.  A maximum of 3 requests at any time.  A request is considered active from the
      time it is initiated until three days after the material is returned.
2.  The library is unable to borrow items published in the current calendar year.
3.  The library is unable to borrow bound periodicals (magazines), but will request
      photocopies on microfilm.
4.  ILL cannot borrow items printed before 1800.  We will try to borrow these
      materials in reprint or microform, if available.
5.  Patrons owing fines of $5.00 or more and/ or have lost materials may not request
      interlibrary loans until the fines have been paid in full, and/ or the lost materials
      are cleared. The library will not process ILL requests for patrons with overdue ILL
      materials.
6.  I understand materials must be returned by their due date to avoid late charges
      and that interlibrary loan items may or may not be renewable as determined by
      the loaning libary.
7.  The library will request spoken word audio, including language instruction on tape
      or CD.
8.  Copyright laws apply to all interlibrary loans.

New Fee Policy

1.  Postage Fees:  There will be a minimum charge of $3.15 for each item shipped via
      the US Postal Service.  Any additional postage charges will also be passed on to
      the patron.
2.  Lending Library Fees: The library will always try to borrow items from libraries
      that lend free of charge.  If a free source is not available, the patron will be
      required to pay the charges up front.  The patron will be notified and given
      opportunity to decline the requested materials and the lending library fees.
