Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a service that allows our borrowers to request items from Indiana libraries or libraries across the country. If WCPL does not own a particular item, we can request it through a worldwide network of libraries. The item is then sent to WCPL for the borrower to use.

There are some restrictions on the ILL service:

• We can request books, audiobooks, and music CDS. We do not request DVDs, Video Games, eBooks, or Special Collections.
• Mailing fees are charged for materials from out-of-state libraries. A normal-sized fiction title usually costs around $4.25. 
• Fees of $1 per item/per day will be charged on overdue items.
• Libraries typically will not send any title published less than 6 months ago. Please use a Suggestion for Purchase form if you are interested in a new title.
• The ILL service typically takes at least two weeks.
• A borrower may have up to 5 active requests at any given time.
• Any borrower using the ILL service must have a valid WCPL library card with less than $1 in fines/fees. PLAC cardholders should use their home library for ILL service.

Stop at the Reference Desk, email ill@warsawlibrary.org, or call 574.267.6011, if you are interested in requesting a title through ILL.
