To provide access to materials we don’t have in our collection, JDCPL offers an Interlibrary Loan service. Please fill out the online form & we’ll do our best to fill your request.
*This service does not request items from other JDCPL locations (Jasper, Ferdinand, Dubois Birdseye).
*This is not a purchase request- An interlibrary loan is a transaction in which a library borrows materials directly from another library to lend to a patron.
