ILL stands for "Interlibrary Loan." This process allows us to request items not in our collection from other libraries in our lending network. ~What is required to request an ILL? You must have a valid Lafourche Parish Public Library card and be a patron in good standing to request items through ILL. ~How do I request an ILL? If our library system does not have the item you desire, we might be able to request it on your behalf. Simply see a library staff member at the circulation desk and ask about requesting an item through ILL. ~How long will the request take? We cannot give a definitive assessment of the time it will take to fulfill an ILL request. All requests are different and are dependent on the availability of resources in our lending network. Unfortunately, we are sometimes unable to fufill some requests. ~How long can I keep the materials? The lending library will decide how long you can keep the item. ~Can ILL items be renewed? We can try to renew ILL items on your behalf; however, lending libraries often decline to extend the borrowing time. ~Are there late fees or other charges? You will be assessed late charges on ILL items should you not return them on time. You will be charged $1.00 per day per overdue ILL item. There will be a grace period of five days after the due date. If the item is returned within the five days, There will be no overdue charges. On the sixth day the item is overdue, the late fees will be applied. |
