Looking for a book that the library does not own? You may be able to get it through our Inter-Library Loan (ILL) service. We allow two requests at a time.

What we CAN try to ILL:

• Articles
• Books
• Book in a foreign language, provided that the title and author are spelled using western alphabet.
• Children’s books (if they have been requested by someone 13 and older)

What we CAN NOT ILL:

• Any audiovisual material (audio books, DVDs, CDs, language kits etc.)
• New books published within the past year
• Books from the United States or international
• Text books or course workbooks (due to time limitations)
• Books that our library already owns

Unfortunately, we cannot specify when requested material will arrive. It can be anywhere from 4 to 5 weeks or longer. While the Library makes every effort to secure items for its patrons, it is not always possible due to a variety of reasons (ex: availability, geographic location, and loan policy of other libraries). Especially important to note, we do not charge patrons any fees. And we only ILL books without a charge.

Due to the ongoing labour dispute affecting Canada Post services, we are currently unable to process Interlibrary Loan requests.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.
