Request Materials

There are several ways to request materials at the Greater Sudbury Public Library.

Depending on the availability in our collection, you have 3 choices to request items:

• Place a request / hold through our catalogue or staff
• Suggest a title
• Request an interlibrary loan (ILL)

Place a request from our collection

If the title you wish to borrow is currently on order or available in our catalogue, we welcome you to reserve a copy and have it delivered to the GSPL location of your choice.

Suggest a title

If the title is not in our collection but has been published or produced in the past 2 calendar years, please make a suggestion for the library to purchase a copy. Please note that as of January, 2013 suggested purchases will no longer be placed on reserve automatically.  

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

If the item you wish to borrow is not in our collection and is older than 2 calendar years, you may request that we borrow a copy from another library in Canada through interlibrary loan.

Please note that audio visual material (including DVDs, CDs, audiobooks) are not available through this service.
