Interlibrary Loan is a service which allows our patrons to obtain books or journal articles that Hackney Library does not own. We work with libraries all across the country to share materials that our patrons need. Requests for books and articles are usually free, and the lending library will send the entire book to be checked out to our patron.

Because these items come from other libraries and are often sent through the mail, there is normally a delay of seven to ten days before interlibrary loans are received. It is best to request interlibrary loans well in advance of the time a paper or project is due.

To request a book or journal article on interlibrary loan, patrons may fill out the electronic forms below.
