Interlibrary Loan
We hope you find what you need in our collection! However, if you wish to order a book from another library, we may be able to help you with our interlibrary loan service. Simply come by the library to fill out an interlibrary loan request form. We will make every attempt to find the requested item. The loan period of an item is determined by the lending library.
Interlibrary loan is borrowing from other libraries in good faith. If an item is returned late, damaged, or not returned at all, your ILL privileges will be suspended and may result in suspension of all library privileges. If an item is lost or returned damaged, the lending library will tell us the replacement costs, which will be charged to your account. This can be over $50.
Some requests can take months to arrive. Due dates are decided by the lending library and BVPL has no say in the due date. In addition, these items cannot be renewed under any circumstances.
A fee of $4 will be charged to your account for ILL items that are not picked up. To submit an interlibrary loan request, call the Library at 479-855-1753 or ask a librarian at the front desk for an ILL form.
