Patrons may make interlibrary loan requests themselves through I-Bistro. If a person prefers to make requests through the circulation desk, such requests are generally limited to three at any one time; however, additional requests will be considered by the ILL staff person. The patron may make priorities of the requests in order of importance. If a patron makes an interlibrary loan request and does not pick up his/her materials, a fee of $2.00/item will be charged. If continued abuse occurs, privileges may be revoked.
All materials, except those newly acquired (six months and newer), may be loaned for a period of 30 days and renewed once. Recent acquisitions are generally not available for loan outside of Lincoln County, but may be loaned at the discretion of the ILL staff person. New materials, if available, will be loaned for a 14-day check-out period.
No fees are charged for interlibrary loan unless imposed by the lending library; however, donations will be accepted.
If a patron returns to a Lincoln County library materials that are borrowed from another county, the materials will be returned to the lending library at no charge.
