Interlibrary loan

Interlibrary Loan (ILL) is a free service the library offers when an item you want is not found in the library’s catalog (which includes all Centre County Library & Historical Museum locations and the Schlow Centre Region Library) and the item has been published for at least 6 months. The library makes the item available for you to borrow by borrowing the item from a different library system in Pennsylvania. To use ILL, please note:

  • Your library card must be in good standing.

  • There is a limit to 2 item requests per patron at one time.

  • Requests for items should be made several weeks before they are needed.

  • Loan periods vary and are dependent on the lending library.

  • ILL items will be sent to your Centre County Library & Historical Museum home library for pickup.

  • Interlibrary Loan items should be returned by their due date as they are borrowed from other libraries.
