Borrow From Another Library

Didn't find what you were looking for in our catalogue?

The Guelph Public Library welcomes your requests! We can borrow items from other libraries for you through Interlibrary Loan.

  • Before requesting an Interlibrary Loan, check the Guelph Public Library catalogue. If we have the title you are looking for, please place a request through our catalogue.
  • For items published within the last year, please Suggest a Purchase as most libraries will not lend out new material through Interlibrary Loan.

How can I request an item through Interlibrary Loan?

There are two ways to request items through Interlibrary Loan.

  • Items can be requested in person at any library location, by calling your nearest library or by completing the Interlibrary Loan request form. 
  • To manage your own interlibrary loans, sign up for a Self-Serve Interlibrary Loan account and access the INFOntario Interlibrary Loan System.

What can I request?

The following can be requested through Interlibrary Loan:

  • Print material (fiction and nonfiction) published more than one year ago
  • Audiobooks (Books on CD or Playaways)
  • Compact Discs
  • Microfilm from the Archives of Ontario

The following cannot be requested through Interlibrary Loan:

  • Items already owned by Guelph Public Library
  • New material released less than a year ago
  • DVDs, Blu-rays or Video Games
  • Items available through Amazon.ca for less than $5.00
  • Book club sets
  • Microfilm/fiche
  • Textbooks

How much does it cost?

  • Interlibrary Loans from other public libraries are usually free of charge.
  • Lost or damaged items will be charged to your account as determined by the lending library.
