Interlibrary Loan

Interlibrary Loan:

·         Interlibrary loan is available to all patrons with an active library card whose account is in good standing.

·        Patrons can request up to 5 items at any given time.

·        Requests may be made in person, by phone or by email.

·        There is no charge for items requested if the item can be found at another Iowa Library and is picked up by the patron.  If a patron orders an item and doesn't return the item or if the item is damaged, a replacement fee will be added to the patron's account. The fee will be determined by the director at the current cost of replacement. 

·        Interlibrary loan items will follow Eckels Library circulation policies.    

·        Any fines or fees the lending library charges the Eckels Library will then be passed on to the patron.
