The Jake Epp Library works in cooperation with other libraries through out Canada to give our patrons access to books that are not in our collection. If a patron requests a book that is not in our collection, they may fill out a request form and our staff will attempt to locate the book in another library and send a request on your behalf. Patrons with internet access may search the online database themselves (after setting up a user ID online) and place requests with a click of a button. (Membership is still necessary for this service. Delivery and shipment are handled by library staff.)
For more information about personally searching for books through ILL, click here.
The postal rates that apply to the shipment of books between libraries are currently very low thanks to the Library Book Rate. This discount allows the library to provide the service to our patrons free of charge.
Usually this service is provided free to our members; however, some libraries do charge a fee.
The patron will be notified in advance if any fee is required. |
