Inter-Library Loan
What is an Inter-Library Loan
Inter-Library loans (ILLO) are the way library materials are made available from one library system to another. We ask that you please check our catalogue first for the item you would like. If we do not currently own that item, ask a staff member to request the item on Inter-Library Loan.

- Renewals must be requested 3-5 days prior to the due date by contacting the library.
- Inter-Library loans can take from 1-6 weeks to arrive.
- Loss of borrowing privileges will result if a user is consistently late with the return of their Inter-Library loans.
- If an item is damaged or lost, the lending library will determine the charges that you, the borrower, are responsible for.
- Certain restrictions apply. Materials requested must be: At least two years old for all materials requested.

Renewing an Inter-Library Loan
