Interlibrary Loan requests may be made at the Main Library Information Desk or any Branch Library. Materials may be picked up and returned to Circulation Services at the Main Library or to any Branch Library. The cost of Interlibrary Loan service is determined by the library sending the material, not by the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. Because a fee might be charged, only adult card holders with a valid library card can make Interlibrary Loan requests. At the time of your request you will be asked the maximum amount you are willing to pay and our staff will make certain the cost does not exceed that amount.
Books There is no charge to borrow books.
All libraries charge for photocopies Fax Service Libraries in the Greater Cincinnati Library Consortium offer a fax service. All Interlibrary Loan charges are payable when you pick up the materials. Because Interlibrary Loan requests are filled by libraries across the country, it may take a while for your materials to arrive. Please keep time limitations in mind when making your request. Interlibrary Loan materials cannot be renewed.
