Interlibrary Loans

The Dustin Michael Sekula Memorial Library borrows and lends out library material through Interlibrary Loan thus enhancing and extending the resources available to its users. Interlibrary Loan is an essential part of the library’s mission to meet the information needs of the community.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) facilitates access to materials not currently available in our collection by obtaining items from other libraries on behalf of our patrons. In addition, we lend materials from our collection to eligible requesting libraries. Please note that ILL services are not available to patrons with outstanding library obligations, including overdue fines, lost item fees, or unreturned materials.

When filling out the Interlibrary Loan Request form, it is important that you fill out all of the information completely and legibly. All requests are processed as quickly as possible. All orders are dependent on the lending library's manpower and policies.

Requests can be made in person at the Reference Desk, or online via:

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) services are limited to the borrowing and lending of books; audiovisual materials are not eligible. Bestsellers and current releases are not available for request or loan through ILL.

The Library also fulfills patron requests for periodical articles; however, only photocopies are provided, not original issues. There is no charge to patrons for article copies.

Patrons are limited to 2 ILL requests per check-out period.

ILL material must be picked up at the Circulation Desk. Return books borrowed through Interlibrary Loan to the Circulation Desk or book drop box.

Patrons may request a renewal of materials obtained through Interlibrary Loan (ILL), subject to approval by the lending library.

Overdue charges apply to ILL books. Lost books must be paid with a Money Order; no cash, debit, credit, or check is accepted.
