LACONIA PUBLIC LIBRARY INTERLIBRARY LOAN POLICY
LOANS TO OTHER LIBRARIES
The Laconia Public Library will loan all circulating materials to any requesting library. Reference materials may be loaned on an individual basis for a shorter loan period and for in-house-use only. A phone call is best regarding specifics on reference materials.
Electronic requests are the preferred method of request but all forms of request will be accepted. Materials currently checked out will not automatically be put on reserve. It is up to the requesting library to contact our library to reserve materials.
Books from the circulating collection will be loaned for a 6 week period. Audio-Visual materials will be loaned for a 4 week period. Books will be renewed on an individual basis. Please call the ILL (Interlibrary Loan) librarian to request a renewal.
The Laconia Public Library will make photocopies in compliance with copyright law. Reciprocal libraries may request photocopies free of charge. Additional copies will be made at a fee of 10 cents per page.
Under normal circumstances ILL requests will be filled if available within two business days. Van delivery is Monday, Wednesday and Friday. If for any reason materials need to be sent via US Postal Service the Laconia Public Library will assume the cost of sending to the borrowing library. Return postage shall be the responsibility of the borrowing library. Photocopies may be faxed when legally acceptable or sent by van or mail.
The borrowing and loaning of ILL materials is to be done between the requesting and loaning libraries. Cardholders may pick up and return their loans at the library at which they are a cardholder. We will not allow our patrons to pick up materials at other libraries nor will we allow cardholders from other libraries to pick up materials belonging to the Laconia Public Library here, they will be shipped on the van to the cardholder’s library thus assuring the transaction will be completely handled by the libraries involved.
