Interlibrary Loans (ILLs)
If you are looking for a book we do not own, we can try to borrow from another library through Interlibrary Loan. Books must be released at least six months before placing a loan request and a $3.50+ return postage fee is required for return postage. Books can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks to arrive, depending on the lending library. To request a book via interlibrary loan, contact us at 762-1387 or send a digital request by logging in to your account at https://www.alliancelibrary.org
