Interlibrary Loan Guidelines
Interlibrary loans is a service where a patron can borrow books that are owned by another library. The Hailey Public Library takes your request, receives the item from a separate branch, and also arranges for its return. This service is for materials that are over 1 year old.
The borrowing parameters for the Hailey Public Library are as follows:
- Library members are limited to 4 interlibrary loan requests at any one time.
- Library members will be notified via telephone, or email if requested, when their item is ready for pick-up. Interlibrary loans not claimed within 7 business days of arrival will be returned to the lending institution, and the patron’s account will be charged a postage fee of $5.00 per item.
- Interlibrary loan renewals must be requested at least 3 business days prior to the due date to allow adequate time to request a renewal from the lending institution. The lending library has the authority to deny the renewal request.
- Lost or damaged interlibrary loan material will be charged at the full replacement cost.
- Interlibrary loans requests are not available for material currently in Hailey Public Library’s collection.
