Welcome to our new website!
Welcome! We hope you find our new website helpful and easier to navigate. It's now as easy to use on your smartphone as your desktop. Take a tour and please tell us what you think.
If we don't have a title you are looking for, we can help you borrow it from another library through an Interlibrary Loan (ILLO) request.
You can borrow the following types of items through our Interlibrary Loan Service. Please note: items published within the past two (2) years are not available for Interlibrary Loan.
Books - regular print and Large Print
Audiobooks for people with visual impairment
Articles from newspapers, magazines, and journals (there will be a printing charge for hard copies; digital scans are available at no charge)
Microfilm
Requests are limited to two (2) items per month.
You can request a title in person or by phone at any of our Information Desks (705-745-5382 ext 2340) to be picked up at the Main Library.
We will look to fill your Interlibrary Loan request from another library within Ontario.
We cannot place an Interlibrary Loan request for any title we currently have in our catalogue.
Most items are available free of charge.
You will have 7 days to pick up your interlibrary loan item once it arrives. There is a $7 charge if you do not pick up your item in 7 days.
Overdue fines are $1 per day.
Photocopying fees apply for printing articles from newspapers, magazines, and journals.
The original lending library determines charges for lost or damaged items.
Please check the pink Interlibrary Loan slip on your borrowed item to see if your item can be renewed.
To request a renewal, complete the ILLO renewal form or contact our Information Staff at least seven (7) days before the due date.
We are only able to request a renewal from the lending library once (1 time).
You can repeat a request for identical items after a 6-month period. Some items may not be available for a repeat loan depending on where they come from.
You can cancel a request by email or by phone (705-745-5382 ext 2340). Cancellations need to be made before the item ships from the lending library.
