INTERLIBRARY LOAN POLICY
Introduction
Interlibrary loan, or ILL, is the borrowing and lending of materials between libraries. The purpose of interlibrary loan is to obtain materials to meet patrons’ needs when local resources are inadequate.
Borrowing Materials for Neptune Public Library Patrons
Any patron in good standing with a current Neptune Public Library card may request material using interlibrary loan. Fines and overdues must be cleared before an interlibrary loan request will be processed. New patrons must have received their library card in the mail before submitting a request.
It is possible to request these types of materials on interlibrary loan:
These materials are not available for borrowing from other libraries:
Interlibrary loan requests may be made by submitting a completed request form in person at the Circulation Desk. There is a cost associated with processing ILLs. Patrons who regularly request items and then fail to pick them up may be denied access to this service.
There is no charge for most interlibrary loans. However, some materials are only available if fees are paid. In such cases, the requesting patron will be consulted before the material is borrowed. All special charges will be passed on to the patron before the item is checked out. Fees include lending fees, photocopy fees, copyright charges, special postage and handling, and any other costs incurred in obtaining the material. The Neptune Public Library is not responsible for arrival times of material.
Neptune Public Library will abide by all conditions set by the lending library for the use of its materials.
Some borrowed materials may be limited to “Library Use Only.” The patron may use these materials inside the library only, after leaving ID at the Desk.
If renewals are not specifically restricted for a borrowed item, the patron may request one renewal in person or over the phone.
Patrons will be charged a fine for each day an interlibrary loan item is overdue. There is no grace period. Patrons will be liable for any lost or damaged interlibrary loan items borrowed for them. The replacement cost will be set by the lending library. There will be a $10.00 processing fee for lost materials. All material must be returned directly to Neptune Public Library’s circulation desk, not to the lending library.
