Inter-Library Loan Service

***19 Dec 2024 – Due to the significant back log of material that Canada Post is dealing with and the fact that most, if not all ILLO depts in Ontario take the holidays off, we won’t be accepting any new ILLO requests until Mon. January 6^th, 2025. 

Note – Our library is currently transitioning to a new Inter-Library loan platform. As a result our current platform for searching and requesting items will no longer be available as of November 12, 2024. We will be transitioning to a new platform called Worldshare. We will update our website when more information is available.

If the library does not have the book you are looking for we will try to order it from another public library in Ontario. We do not lend out or borrow any audio visual material, nor do we borrow from academic libraries. You can come to the Information Services department to place your order, phone us at 613-968-6731 x 2037, or you can email us at infoserv@bellevillelibrary.ca.  Please make sure you have a valid library card. If you want to know the availability of the book you are looking for, you can search through Ontario Interlibrary Loan Search.

Our library is fine free and this applies to Inter-Library loans as well. Patrons can request five (5) titles through Inter-Library Loan at one time.

Renewing Inter-Library loans:

Renewals require the permission of the lending library so it must be requested before the due date.

To renew the book you have, you should come in to the library or phone us 613-968-6731 x 2037. You can also send an e-mail through Ask a Librarian.
