You have to be in good standing with the Library.
- You have to have a regular, full-service library card to use Interlibrary Loan
- You must owe less than $5 in fees
- You must be a Pima County resident
You are limited to three (3) Interlibrary Loan requests at a time (including Interlibrary Loan items currently checked out). This can be a combination of items, such as 2 books and 1 photocopy articles, or 3 books.
You can only request a title once a year.
Interlibrary Loans can't be renewed.
Interlibrary Loans must be returned to the same library where you picked them up.
There is a 3-day grace period. Late fees for overdue interlibrary loan items are 50 cents per day, with a maximum of $10.00. Charges for lost or damaged books are billed to you at whatever rate the lending library charges.
In most cases, this service is free. We cover all shipping and processing charges. However, sometimes the library that owns the material charges a lending fee or copying cost. These costs are your responsibility. If a library charges a fee, we will notify you in advance for your approval.
When you put in an Interlibrary Loan request, the pickup location is automatically set to your home library (ILLs are not allowed to be picked up through the pickup lockers). If you want to pick up an Interlibrary Loan request at a different library, please ask a staff member to change your home library.
