Inter-Library Loan Services
Trimble County Public Library proudly participates in a material loaning/borrowing program that collaborates with thousands of other libraries across the country. This program is called Inter-Library Loan (ILL). TCPL offers ILL service to adult patrons who hold a current library card in good standing. Patrons may use ILL to request up to 3 items at a time. The loan period for all borrowed ILL materials is set by the lending library. Renewals are subject to the lending library's policy and must be requested before the initial due date.
TCPL does not charge for this service, however, some lending libraries set fees that will be passed on to patrons. Patrons will be notified if any charges are involved before the ILL request is confirmed. Should loss or damage occur while an ILL item is in the patron’s possession, the patron will be charged all replacement fees and/or damage costs as determined by the lending library.
All ILL materials must be signed out on the request card by the patron and signed back in when returned inside the library. ILL materials are not to be returned in bookdrops, items should be returned only at the circulation desk. If an item is not signed in, it will be assumed the patron is still in possession of the ILL material. Patrons will be notified when their ILL item is available to be picked up from the front desk; items must be picked up within one week of receiving this notice. All shipping costs incurred from out of state ILL items will be charged to patrons who order an ILL but fail to pick it up within one week of being notified.
