Library Interloan
What is an Library Interloan?
Not every library can house every book. If there is a book you'd like to read that we don't own, we can request to borrow it on your behalf from another Ontario Library at not cost to you! We have borrowed materials from as close as Kenora and as far as Toronto. Most books are available to borrow, however, some Libraries may not be willing to lend new releases, books which are in high demand, or books which are very old or rare. We suggest you wait at least 6 months to request a newly published material.
How do I request a Library Interloan?
A Library Interloan (ILLO) can be requested by completing a Library Interloan Request Form. You can also request an ILLO by phone or in person at DPL. Library Interloans usually arrive within a couple of weeks, but they can take longer depending on the lending library location, and availability of the item. Please have patience!
