Materials will generally not be reserved for interlibrary loan unless specially requested. Local patrons holding a Galesburg Public Library card may request materials from other libraries on interlibrary loan. These materials include books, periodical articles, and microfilm from the Illinois State Library and the Illinois Historical Library. The Library reserves the right to limit the number of interlibrary loan request per patron per day because of time constraints. Generally the Galesburg Public Library will follow the National and State Interlibrary Codes in placing these requests.
Patrons are responsible for all interlibrary loan materials.
Borrowing libraries are responsible for replacement of lost or damaged GPL materials. Loan period for Galesburg Public Library materials borrowed by other libraries is four weeks. There are no renewals. Not more than two reserves per patron per day and not more than five total reserves per patron may be placed. If a customer wold like to request a book to be added to the collection, they may do so.
