Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Service

Titles not found in the Tompkins County Public Library catalog or in the Finger Lakes Library System may be available through out-of-system interlibrary loan.

To request a book on interlibrary loan, you must be a registered Tompkins County Public Library cardholder with no more than $10.00 in fines on your account. Lending libraries may charge a fee for items you request.

Renewals may be requested, but are not guaranteed. If you would like to ask for a renewal, you must contact the Library's Reference Desk in person or by phone at 607-272-4556 at least 3 business days before the due date. Renewals are not allowed for overdue items. Only one renewal per item.
