What is an inter-library loan?

The inter-library loan service is available for members to obtain information or items from other libraries and information agencies within Australia

We participate in inter-lending with other libraries and institutions, including:

  • Public libraries
  • Universities
  • Specialist libraries

Any member of our libraries with full membership status can request an inter-library loan. The library will contact you when the item is ready to collect.  Requests may take between 2-6 weeks, depending on availability.

INTER-LIBRARY LOANS FEES - PER ITEM (NON-REFUNDABLE AND PAYABLE UPON FULFILMENT OF REQUEST)

  • Non-charging libraries (Public Libraries) - Adults - $4.00

  • Non-charging libraries - Seniors and Children - $2.00

  • Charging libraries (Non-Public Libraries) - $30.50

You can now pay online for library services.
