Due to impending severe weather, Libraries will be CLOSING at 7pm

Interlibrary Loan

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.
