Library Services - Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Request

Welcome to the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) request page. Before ordering any material, please review the policy to be sure your order will not be in violation of the ILL policy. Thank you.

ILL Policy
If the Florence-Lauderdale Public Library does not own a book you want, we can try to borrow it for you from another library.

Anyone with a library card in good standing (no overdues, no fines) may request an Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Requests should be made at the Reference Desk on the 2nd floor of the Library. You may request up to three (3) items at one time. You will need to provide the title and author of the item you are requesting, plus any additional information (publisher, date, etc.) that you may have available. As a general rule, libraries will NOT lend audio-visual materials, microfilm, study manuals, auto repair manuals, rare books, items from their special collections, or genealogical materials.

There is a fee of $2.00 on each item requested in order to cover postage and processing fees. If a lending library charges extra fees, you will be notified before the ILL is completed. Since materials are coming from other libraries, an arrival date cannot be guaranteed; allow at least two weeks for the arrival of materials. You will be called as soon as loans arrive or notified if a loan request is rejected by a lending library. Materials are picked-up at the reference desk. All items are to be returned to the reference desk, with the tracking book band attached. Improperly returned materials will result in a $1.00 fine per item.

Loan periods are set by the lending libraries and are out of Florence-Lauderdale Public Library's control. Since these materials are the property of another library, it is essential that materials be returned on time. Failure to do so may result in the loss of a patron's ILL privileges. A fine of $0.50 per day is assessed for any overdue items. The lending library will determine the replacement cost of any lost or damaged material.

By submitting, I agree that I have read and will comply with the above policy.
