Inter Library Loan (ILL) Policy

Interlibrary Loan Policy:

• Interlibrary loans (ILLs) are available to library patrons who are in good standing with the library
• If a material is unavailable at the Gustavus Public Library, patrons may request this item in writing either by filling out the Interlibrary Loan Request Form at the front desk or library website, or by emailing the Library Directors with the patron name, name of the material requested, author’s first and last name, and ISBN number.
• Patrons who utilize the Interlibrary Loan system are responsible for all fees associated with the item they borrowed, in accordance with the policies of the lending library.
• Interlibrary Loan materials (ILLs) will be treated in accordance with the policies of the lending library they were sent from, and patrons will be responsible for any fines associated with these items. If an item is lost or damaged, the patron will be responsible for associated costs. If the loaning library charges late fees, the patron will be responsible for associated costs. Any patron with an outstanding ILL fee will be restricted from requesting ILLs and restricted to checking out one item from the local collection until the fee has been settled.
