Requested items MUST only be a year old. If the item is older than 1 year, please try Inter Library Loan.

Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

Interlibrary Loan is the process of obtaining materials from other libraries throughout the country. This service is available with the following restrictions and available to library patrons over the age of 18 that pay taxes in the County of Culpeper. The libraries of surrounding counties provide ILL services for the residents of those counties. Patrons requesting ILL's must provide a valid phone number at which they may be reached, as the lending library has the right to issue a recall on an item at any time. A patron may request no more than three interlibrary loan items at a time and the request must be in the name of the patron picking the item up. These items are from other institutions and may only be signed out by the person who requested them. Interlibrary loan service is free, but the patron may be charged for any shipping fees or any other charges that the normal fourth class library rate postage does not cover. Patrons will be charged $1.00 per day for overdue Interlibrary Loans.
