Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

If you wish to borrow an item that we do not have in our collection, we can try to request it from another Library. We collaborate with libraries throughout Canada to share our collections. 

What can I borrow?

  • Print books
  • Audiobooks
  • DVD's
  • CD's
  • Microfilm
Materials are subject to the availability and lending policies of other libraries.

What can't I borrow?

  • Materials published within the last 12 months.
  • Rare, fragile and valuable materials.
  • Directories, dictionaries, genealogical indices, encyclopedia, textbooks, and entire issues of periodicals. 

How can I submit a request?

Submit your request using the Interlibrary Loan Request form. You must have a valid Library card. 

Book club request form 

If you are hosting a book club and there are not enough copies of the book available in the library's collection, use the book club request form to request additional copies. 

Self-Serve option

To create a self-serve account and place your own requests, contact the Interlibrary Loan Department.
