Interlibrary Loan & Purchase Requests

If you cannot find what you need in the Library Catalog, please use the appropriate option so we can get it for you. When we do not have what you need within our collection, we can either purchase the item or request to borrow it from another Florida library. Factors determining which of the suggested titles the library purchases will include availability from our vendors, price, currency, and community demand.

Purchase Suggestion:

Most but not all suggestions are purchased. Since holds are not placed automatically, please check the catalog periodically after submitting a purchase suggestion to see if the title has been purchased. 

Interlibrary Loans:

Select the "Interlibrary Loan Request" button on this page to request to borrow up to five (5) books at a time through Interlibrary Loan (ILL). Estimated time to receive is 2 to 4 weeks.

Unfortunately, items published within 12 months, DVD, music, and audiobooks cannot be borrowed through Interlibrary Loan. Please use the purchase suggestion option for these materials. 

Also, through a collaboration with the Southeast Florida Library Information Network (SEFLIN), some downloadable materials are available through the LYRASIS Palace Project.
