Interlibrary Loan (ILL) Service

TCPL is pleased to offer interlibrary loan service from Cornell University Library Lending. You will need to speak with a staff person at either the Adult Services or Youth Services reference desks to submit a request.

Most material can be loaned for 16 weeks with no renewal. This may vary by collection or item.
All material is subject to immediate recall. We will notify you if the item has been recalled so that you can immediately return it.

Note: In September 2020, the Interlibrary Loan Service through Finger Lakes Library System (FLLS) was suspended due to budget cuts until further notice.

Patrons may continue to request items within the 5-county FLLS. Find more information about how to place a hold here.
