Libraries

If you would like to borrow a book or video from your library instead of buying it, and your library does not have the book/video that you need, it may be possible for them to locate and obtain it from another library system using Interlibrary Loan (ILL). You can fill out a request form– either on paper or on a computer–at your library’s Reference Department or perhaps at a separate Interlibrary Loan Department. Some libraries have websites that make it possible for you to make interlibrary loan requests online from any computer. Receiving books usually takes a few weeks or less.
