Interlibrary Loan (ILL)

ILL is a service allowing library items or a photocopy to be made available from one library system to another.

Due to the many library closures across the United States we are suspending our ILL service at this time.
We will provide ILL service again as soon as possible. Any questions, please call 480-312-2306. Thank you for your patience.
