Inter-Library Loan:
Materials not available in our collections that are needed by our cardholders in good standing may be requested through ILL. Newly published books may not be requested via ILL until they have been published for six months.
If obtainable, the materials will be sent to Ligonier Valley Library. The patron must return the materials to Ligonier Valley Library.
Responsibility for these materials is the same as for our materials regarding payment for lost items. The fine on overdue ILL materials is $1.00 per day. Length of circulation time varies according to the item, the current demand, and to policies of the lending library.
Materials requested through ILL will take a minimum of two weeks to receive. Some may be on order for a few weeks or slightly longer, depending on factors such as demand and number of copies at the lending library.
