With this form you can request an item from a non-CCRLS library.
Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Policy
- A maximum of 3 requests at any time. A request is considered active from the time it is initiated until three days after the material is returned.
- The following types of materials can be requested via ILL: books, videos (DVD/VHS), audio recordings, microfilm, and photocopies of articles.
- The library is unable to borrow items published in the current calendar year.
- Patrons with fines of $10.00 or more and/or lost materials may not request Interlibrary Loans until the fines have been reduced, a payment plan is in place, and/or the lost materials are cleared. The library will not process ILL requests for patrons with overdue ILL materials.
- Copyright laws apply to all Interlibrary Loans.
- Materials must be returned by their due date to avoid late charges and Interlibrary Loan items are NOT renewable.
- Please note that items take an average of 3-4 weeks to arrive, and may have a shorter loan period.
Fee Policy
- Lending Library Fees: The library will always try to borrow items from libraries that lend free of charge. If a free source is not available, the patron will be required to pay the charges. The patron will be notified and given the opportunity to decline the requested materials and the lending library fees.
- Postage Fees: Charges of $10.00 or more for ILL items shipped via the US Postal Service, will be passed on to the patron.
- There will be no postage charge for items borrowed from libraries that participate in the ORBIS CASCADE ALLIANCE (member courier service). We will make every effort to obtain ILL requested items from a library within the ORBIS Cascade Alliance Courier Service, serving Oregon, Washington, and parts of Idaho.
- Overdue Fees: The patron will be charged $1.00 a day for each overdue ILL item, with a $10.00 maximum overdue charge.
- Lost/Damaged Fees: Lost and damaged fees are set by the lending library, but usually include item replacement cost and a processing fee.
