Interlibrary Loan

If you want an item that our library does not have in the collection, request an interlibrary loan. We will borrow your requested item from another Iowan library that owns it. Due dates will vary according to the lending library and they may charge a nominal fee. Depending on the lending library, your item might travel by mail or courier. If borrowed from another Iowan public library, our library charges a $2.00/per item fee for this specialized service. If from an academic library, our library charges a $4.00/per item fee for this specialized service. Please keep in mind many libraries will not loan their rare or antiquated items.
