Interlibrary Loan Requests

Please read the following before making your request:

Please fill out a separate request for each item desired, and do not resubmit a request about which you have not yet been notified.
Not all types of materials are available for interlibrary loan. This service is restricted to books, audiobooks and articles from magazines. Recently published books cannot be borrowed through the interlibrary loan system.
Most loans take at least 2 weeks to process, and may take longer. You will receive a phone call when your loan is available.
The library that owns the item sets the loan period.
Some lending libraries may impose a charge. You may indicate on your request if you are willing to pay up to $25.00. Whenever possible, our staff will notify the borrower of any charges.
Please pick up your item within 10 days of receiving notice that it is available for you.
The Library does assess a charge of $5.00 if interlibrary loan items are not picked up within the loan period or if the request is not cancelled before the item arrives in Peterborough.
There is a fine of $1.00 per day for each item returned late. All loans must be returned to the Main Branch.
Contact this library 7 days before the due date if you want to renew an interlibrary loan item. Our staff will request a renewal from the lending library. Please note that not all interlibrary loan items can be renewed.
