Answers
| What is Interlibrary Loan?
Interlibrary loan is a service offered to Leavenworth Public Library patrons who need books and magazine articles the library does not own. |
What types of materials may I borrow?
|
What MAY NOT be borrowed through Interlibrary Loan?
|
| What if the material I want is available out-of-state?
Leavenworth Public Library does not normally search for materials outside the state of Kansas, unless there is a specific request made by a patron. In that case, the patron will be charged any costs associated with borrowing the materials, including return postage (as approved by the Board of Directors 2-8-94). To see if a book is available within the state, you may search the Kansas Library Catalog. |
How do I request materials?
|
| What is the cost of this service?
There is no charge for interlibrary loan materials, either books or periodicals, as long as the request is able to be filled in-state. |
| How long does it take to get material?
Most requests are filled in one to two weeks. The availability of materials from the lending library can cause delays. |
| How am I notified when the material arrives?
You will be notified by phone when your material arrives. We will be happy to leave a message on your machine. If you cannot be contacted a post card will be sent to you. |
| How long may I keep the material?
Material is due 2 weeks from the date of contact. Late fees are 25 cents a day. Interlibrary Loan materials may NOT be renewed. Periodical articles are photocopied and may be kept by the borrower. |
| Where do I return the material?
Please return all Interlibrary Loan materials to the circulation desk. Please do not return them in the outside bookdrop or the remote book drop at Dillons. |
| How do copyright regulations apply?
Periodical article requests must comply with copyright regulations (Title 17 of the U.S. Code). |
