Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is the process by which a library requests material from, or supplies material to, another library. ILL allows you to obtain materials from other libraries that are not held by our Library, or that may be checked out by other patrons.

Please check the library's catalog before requesting materials. When submitting an interlibrary loan request, please provide as much citation information as is known (Title, Author(s), Year of Publication, Edition, ISBN, Publisher). Customers may submit multiple items per email request.

When the item arrives, you will receive a notification indicating that it is ready for pick up.
