Interlibrary Loan Gives You Access to Almost Any Book

Our library in Sargent is fairly small, but did you know that through the Sargent Library you can have free access to most other library collections in the United States? The service is called Interlibrary Loan. If there is a book you need that our library doesn’t have, we can send out a request and borrow it from another library in Nebraska or even another state. There is no cost for us to receive the book, but you will have to pay for the cost of the postage to send it back. There is also the catch that the book has to be more than 1 year old. (Most libraries don’t want to lend out their best sellers to another library.) Interlibrary loan is also available to obtain other items. You can request periodicals, VHS/DVDs, Audio CDs, and even cake pans. Contact the library if you are interested.
