Inter-Library Loans

If you're looking for a book and can't find it at the library, we can still get it for you. This service is often free, but if there is a charge for the item you will be informed before the request is made - prepayment is required; we accept cash, cheque, Interac, VISA, and Mastercard.

Just fill out an inter-library loan request form at the circulation desk, or call us at (514) 345-2627 Ext. 3003.
