INTERLIBRARY LOAN SERVICES |
|
Materials
owned by other public libraries in Monroe
County may be requested through the
patron-placed holds feature in LIBRAWeb. In
turn, Gates also shares most materials with
other libraries. (DVDs and any materials
marked "new" must be picked up at Gates.)
Gates' participation in this service is
governed by an interlibrary loan policy.
There is a $.50 hold fee for an item
obtained from a Monroe Country library.
We can request nonfiction materials from
nearly any library in the world. We submit
requests for specific materials to the
Interlibrary Loan Department of the Monroe
County Library System. The request will go
the nearest library that has the material
available. At this time we will only request
nonfiction items more than one year old,
magazine and journal articles, and
microfilm.
There is a $5.00 fee for interlibrary loans.
An additional fee may be charged if the
owning library charges to send an item. The
interlibrary loan department will notify the
requesting patron of any additional fee
before the item is sent. The patron then has
the option of canceling the request before a
fee is charged. The $5.00 ILL fee is
nonrefundable.
