Borrow materials from other libraries

Looking for a particular title that we don’t have on our shelves? We might be able to help you with that! If we don’t have the item you are looking for, our librarians will consider purchasing it for our collection or borrowing it from another library. Fill out the request form to request it.

Please provide your contact information so we can reach you if the item arrives at the Library. Unfortunately, not all requested books can be located or purchased. Please be patient, as it may take a few weeks for items to arrive at our Library. 

We are pleased to announce that interlibrary loan service has resumed  with the following important changes:

• At this time, we are unable to request any materials that were released over the past year.  We are also unable to request any DVDs or music CDs.
• Delivery of interlibrary loan materials will take place via Canada Post and may take longer to arrive.
• Iinterlibrary loan material will be available for pick up at the Library for 10 days, after which the items will be sent back if not picked up.  There will be a $5 fine for each item that is not picked up.
• While there is no set limit on the number of individual patron requests, they may be spread out over a period of time to ensure fairness for all borrowers.

We are in a transition phase for this service and appreciate your patience and support while we work through these changes.

• This service is available to all Bradford West Gwillimbury Public Library users with a valid library card.
• Patrons must check our Library database to ensure that we do NOT own the title before making a request.
• Patrons will be informed by email or phone when their item(s) have arrived.
• Items can take a couple of weeks to a couple of months to arrive.
