Inter-Library Loan
Thomas Branigan Memorial Library is pleased to be able to offer its patrons access to a variety of materials via Interlibrary Loan. If you have any questions about the process, or need assistance requesting an item, please ask at the Reference Desk or call the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Clerk during regular Library hours at 528-4025.
Thomas Branigan Memorial Library does not charge for ILL service; however, some lending libraries assess a fee for lending materials. Be prepared to pay up to $25.00 each for ILL requests, although prices vary from institution to institution. The ILL staff makes every effort to borrow from non-charging institutions.
Certain materials cannot be borrowed via ILL:
- Recently published titles (for example, in 2009, we cannot request books published in 2009)
- Media (we will not request DVDs, VHS, cassettes or CDs)
- Reference books (including genealogy)
- Rare or archival items
