Interlibrary Loan Conditions
This service is generally free. However, some libraries may charge fees for lending, photocopying and other services. This service may take anywhere from one to four weeks from time of order to receive.
- The general borrowing period for interlibrary loan materials is six weeks.
- If a renewal is required please contact the library several days before the given due date. Lending Libraries may choose to decline a renewal so we may re-request.
- Many libraries do not share their audio-visual materials.
- Overdue fines are $1.00 per day.
Interlibrary loan privileges are at the library’s discretion and may be suspended if fines or damages to other library’s materials are excessive. Your library account with Rideau Lakes must also be in good standing.
Lost or Damaged Items
If a book is damaged or lost the patron will be charged the rate of replacement as per the lending library’s policy.
